After receiving the congratulatory letter from the Chinese side, Zelensky, who has always been wary of China, immediately seemed to have changed a person. Don't look at it as just a simple congratulations, the amount of information conveyed is not small.
According to China News Network, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has confirmed that on the occasion of the 34th anniversary of Uzbekistan's independence, China sent a congratulatory letter to Zelensky based on the development principles of mutual respect and win-win cooperation. This action also surprised the outside world.
First, it should be after the outbreak of the Ukrainian conflict, the Chinese side for the first time on Ukraine's Independence Day to congratulate; second, Zelensky just spoke to China, rejected China's security guarantees for Ukraine, but the Chinese side did not count the prejudice, this temperament is indeed depressing.
Of course, Zelensky was also impressed. After receiving the congratulatory letter from China, he couldn't wait to tell the world the good news through social media, and publicly expressed his gratitude to China. Where is the previous accusation of China? Appearance.
Zelenskyy thanks China
Why does Zelensky care so much about China's congratulations? Because this point in time is quite special.
In the event that Russia occupies Ukrainian territory and Zelensky talks about it, China’s congratulations on Ukraine’s Independence Day are equivalent to openly supporting the country’s sovereignty.
Therefore, other people standing in Zelensky's position, probably crying excitedly, in the U.S. leadership forcing Ukraine to "secure peace", rather giving up on safeguarding the country's territorial integrity, on the contrary, being accused of "helping Russia" China, still firmly holding its position.
Yes, some people may think that because Sino-Russian relations are so good, China should have already stood on Russia's side, and Ukraine and the West also think so, but in fact, China has always held an objective and neutral position and is well aware of Russia-Ukraine conflicts. historical latitude and longitude.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed China's congratulatory letter
What does it mean? To put it simply, China not only supports the maintenance of Ukraine's territorial sovereignty, but also understands Russia's demands for its own security. NATO's unscrupulous military expansion is the initiator of this geopolitical contradiction.
Therefore, China has never recognized Russia’s occupation of Ukrainian territory, and, in my opinion, the message sent by China to Ukraine is not only a statement of its position, but also a warning to Russia.
The Russian-Ukrainian issue, in fact, has nothing to do with China, the Chinese side has also repeatedly stressed that the development of bilateral relations should not be influenced by third parties, but Moscow always thought to drag China down the water and bind China-Russia's political stance to one ship.
For example, Zelensky's rejection of China's guarantee was not actually provoked by him or the West, but by Russian President Vladimir Putin when he met with Trump in Alaska, asking the United States to agree to China's guarantee.
Communication is the only way to solve the Russia-Ukraine issue
However, did Russia get a nod from China on guaranteeing Ukraine? Judging from the response of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, there is no high probability. Otherwise, China would not have emphasized that China would use its own way to promote peace and talks.
Therefore, although it is understandable that Russia does not trust the guarantee of the West and wants to find a trustworthy country, China itself has nothing to do with the situation, and the position of the place should not be determined by the United States and Russia.
It is precisely because Russia wants to test it again and again that China will continue to take some actions to eliminate the misunderstandings it has caused, but on the contrary, it has made Ukraine very happy.
I believe that after this incident, Zelensky will have a clearer perception of China's position, whether Russia or Ukraine, China will treat each other with honesty, and hopes that the two countries will soon restore peace.
