'China's claim to be a mediator is something we must respect'

The former head of the Munich Security Conference, Wolfgang Ischinger, believes it is a mistake to simply dismiss China's paper on the Russia-Ukraine war, since Beijing is not truly neutral. Nevertheless, China could play a role in the peace process. He considers the EU insufficiently prepared so far. Michael Radunski, Nana Brink, Felix Lee and Viktor Funk spoke with Ischinger.

The 12 points also have fans

From Beijing's point of view, the significance of the Chinese Global Security Initiative and its 12 points on the Ukraine war is that it brings together the interests of a world majority.

China's peace paper for Ukraine is causing disappointment in the West. Sinologist Marina Rudyak explains the motives behind the paper in an interview with Michael Radunski. China would certainly try to exert a moderating influence on Russia. If the West is clever, it can still make it a success.

The Ukraine-China relationship has long been cold, but it holds a lot of potential. For a long time, the relationship was characterized by a simple trade exchange. Currently, however, China is emerging as a major trading partner of Ukraine. In the plans of China's New Silk Road initiative, Ukraine has played a minor role until now. In the wake of the war between Russia and Ukraine, the Chinese government is behaving cautiously, but increasingly a slight distancing can be seen. Read the latest Ukraine-China news from the Table.editorial team.    How has the Ukraine-China relationship developed? Even though Ukraine has repeatedly expressed interest in the Silk Road initiative, the state has made few moves on China. Due to Ukraine's difficult economic and political situation resulting from Russian aggression, China is distancing itself from Ukraine. Ukraine also focused its foreign policy on the West - the European Union and the United States to persuade Russia to make peace with economic and political sanctions. Given the complicated U.S.-China relationship, Ukraine had deliberately avoided rapprochement with China. Closer contact with Xi Jinping is emerging under Ukrainian President Volodymyr Selenskyj, heralding a possible new phase in the Ukraine-China relationship.
