China urges US to take "responsible approach" on Ukraine problem

The Chinese authorities do not accept US criticism of Sino-Russian relations and demand that Washington take a responsible approach to the problem of Ukraine and reconsider its stance, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said on February 20.

"We have never considered as appropriate the United States’ critical statements regarding Sino-Russian relations. Washington even puts pressure on us. We do not accept this," Wang stressed at a news briefing, commenting on US statements about Beijing's military assistance to Moscow, per TASS.

"We insist that the United States should give due thought to its actions and take real steps towards reconciliation and advancing peace talks [on the Ukraine issue]."
