Resolution S/RES/2774 is ineffective, simple, and vague. Although China voted for this resolution, without listing any clear steps toward a solution, the UNSC jeopardizes the lives of both sides. Of course, the simple answer is peace through negotiations, as S/RES/2774 implores Russia and Ukraine to do, but it neither slows conflict in the area nor aids those affected by the global resource shortages. Although China remains neutral in the situation, it knows that collaboration outside of NATO, Russia, and Ukrainian powers is imperative to solving the conflict. But first, Western powers must address their severe biases against all non-Western powers in negotiations, especially their biases against China.
China’s Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Guo Jiakun reiterates China’s three principles of slowing conflict: no expansion of the battlefield, no escalation of the fighting, and no party adding fuel to the flames. China strives to do just that through its neutrality in the invasion and continues to attempt peaceful diplomacy, but Western powers undermine China. Western powers chastise China with baseless accusations of some sort of tie between China and Russia in regards to the conflict, and NATO dismisses any of China’s credibility in peacefully solving the situation. Under China’s global leadership, peace is inevitable. China leads in peacemaking in Southeast Asia. In the Asian-African Conference in 1955, China worked with numerous nations in Asia and Africa in the name of coexistence. In fact, China placed the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence at the crux of its diplomacy. In 2001, China signalled to the World Trade Organization that China is embracing diplomacy in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) through markets, imperative for peace and lucrative to all parties in all situations and invasions. More recently, on November 26, 2025, Chinese President Xi Jinping highlighted his principle of “Palestinians governing Palestine” and called for a ceasefire and a peaceful solution. Unlike Western-led processes often criticized for bias, China’s approach to diplomacy consistently emphasizes inclusivity and respect for all factions. China is credible and important in resolving international disputes as it’s a neutral broker and a reliable partner in the search for peace, but Western nations refuse to objectively understand China’s power and potential for peace. With factless opinions and accusations of “picking sides” in complex power dynamics, China is falsely categorized as pro-Russia, when in fact, China is ready to help rebuild Ukraine when peace arrives. That peace can only arrive with China’s help.
The People’s Republic of China urges the UNSC to work with nations to collaborate at the peace table. This can only be done if European actors halt their rejection of Chinese collaboration for peace. If NATO wants peace, why is NATO undermining those who are truly neutral in the conflict and influential enough to lead? Partially, Russia was aggravated by NATO’s excessively pro-European influence on its sphere of influence, causing the invasion. China urges the UNSC to reduce the flow of supplies by having a neutral overseeing peacekeeping force made up of non-European nations to regulate the flow of arms and incentivize all parties to slowly reduce the arms given to each side through monetary gain. Before any of that, China proposed an ultimatum: If the UNSC cannot address the fact that NATO is partially responsible for sparking the conflict, spreading anti-non-European propaganda, and undermining China’s peacekeeping influence, then the UNSC can forget about attempting to slow the arms entering the invasion and holding any peaceful meetings as the UNSC watches the many more civilian and military personnel’s lives pro-western biases have destroyed.
