Russia-Ukraine war, Chinese media: “Let’s stop as long as possible”
The Chinese tabloid Global Times asks to “put a stop” to the escalation of the war in Ukraine “at a time when the proportions of the war are still manageable”. The best-known Chinese journalist writes in a commentary article, Hu Xijinfamous for his vitriolic opinions on international political issues in defense of the Beijing line, and who until the end of last year was editor of the fierce newspaper, published by People’s Dailypress organ of the Communist Party of China.
In the commentator’s analysis, the climate of hostility between Russia and NATO has intensified and “the determination of the United States and the West in defeating Russia is very strong”. For Putin, he continues, “there is no other way out than victory”, and therefore “this conflict has turned into a question of life and death”.
The conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues Hu Xijin, “must not escalate into a nuclear war”, which could lead to a series of “unimaginable consequences”. For the former director of the Global Times “there is a need for a ceasefire and negotiations rather than an ever-growing showdown between Russia and NATO. Please”, he concludes, “do not forget that there will be no winner or loser in a military conflict between nuclear powers. Anyone who tries to completely overwhelm the other side must be insane. ”
