Beijing is in damage control with European leaders following a diplomat’s decision to question the sovereignty of former Soviet republics, including Ukraine.
A spokeswoman for China’s Foreign Ministry, Mao Ning, said China “respects the sovereign status of former Soviet republics after the Soviet Union’s dissolution” on Monday.
"The Soviet Union was a federal state and as a whole was one subject of international law in international relations. This does not negate the republics’ status as sovereign countries after the Soviet Union’s dissolution," she added."On the Ukraine issue, China’s position is objective, just, and clear. We will continue to work with the international community to make our own contribution to facilitating a political settlement of the Ukraine crisis.
France summoned Lu to the Quai d’Orsay, the Foreign Ministry, to explain his comments on Monday, while Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania said they would do the same, according to the New York Times. Secretary of State Antony Blinken warned in February that the U.S. had intelligence suggesting China was considering providing arms and ammunition to Russia and said that such involvement in the war would be a “serious problem.”
