China defends Ukraine war stance, aims to deepen ties with Russia

Foreign Minister Wang Yi has defended China’s stance on the war in Ukraine and suggested that it would deepen ties with Russia in the year ahead, as he hailed the “historic strides forward” in Chinese-Arab relations.

Speaking by video to a conference in the Chinese capital, Wang on Sunday also blamed the United States for the deterioration in relations between the world’s two largest economies, saying that Beijing has “firmly rejected” Washington’s “erroneous China policy”.
