The claim that #China is on the wrong side of history is overbearing. It is the #US that is on the wrong side of history.
If the #US had honored its assurances, refrained from repeatedly expanding #NATO and pledged that NATO would not admit #Ukraine, and had not fanned the flames by supplying weapons and ammunition to Ukraine, the situation would have been very different.
If the #US had truly abided by the purposes and principles of the #UNCharter, how could it have staged wars without remorse for the people of Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq & Syria ...?
On the #Ukraine issue, between the #US and #Russia, there are scores of countries besides #China that are drawing independent conclusions, trying to deescalate the situation, encouraging peace talks in deeds as well as words, and protecting their legitimate rights and interests.
#Ukrainian people need peace & security instead of weapons & ammunition.

"This is not the outcome we sought to prevent," said #US State Department spokesman on the current #Ukraine war. Just a slip of the tongue?
Former Representative Tulsi Gabbard might have told the truth: "President Biden could end this crisis and prevent a war with #Russia by doing something very simple, guaranteeing that #Ukraine will not become a member of #NATO, ···
because if #Ukraine became a member of NATO, that would put US and NATO troops directly on the doorstep of Russia, which as Putin has laid out, would undermine their national security interest. Why doesn't President Biden and NATO leaders actually just say that and guarantee it?
China cannot be separated from the world in achieving development, and the world also needs China for #prosperity.
Now, China is speeding up efforts to foster a new development paradigm with #domesticcirculation as the mainstay and domestic and international circulations reinforcing each other.
China will remain committed to a #winwinstrategy of opening-up. It will seek #development impetus from the world and contribute more to the world with its own development.
China has taken an active part in global environmental governance. China takes seriously the obligations under environment-related treaties, including on #ClimateChange and #Biodiversity.
We have hit, ahead of schedule, the targets set for 2020 for tackling #ClimateChange and establishing protected areas.
China will continue to make extraordinary efforts to scale up its nationally determined contributions.
Take a close look at this #CPC badge: #为人民服务
--Serve the people.
This is the fundamental goal & mission of the CPC. It explains why China and the US acted so differently in response to #COVID19.
We don't pursue "China first". We do pursue better lives for the Chinese people and people across the world. What will prevail in the end is #justice and common good.
China is on the side of humanity's shared interest, while the #US politicians only serve the ruling class and the interest groups behind. As #Stiglitz put it, "of the 1%, by the 1%, for the 1%" .
