Beijing, which sees Moscow as a diplomatic partner in opposing U.S. domination of global affairs, has refused to criticize the invasion and used its status as one of five permanent U.N. Security Council members to deflect diplomatic attacks on Russia.
Last week, Foreign Minister Qin Gang told his Israeli and Palestinian counterparts that his country is ready to help facilitate peace talks. Xi and Putin issued a joint statement ahead of the February 2022 invasion that said their governments had a "no limits friendship."Xi received a warm welcome from Putin during a visit to Moscow in March. The Chinese defence minister visited Russia this month.
