China's Xi Calls for Efforts to Bring Calm in Ukraine

Chinese President Xi Jinping called for efforts to bring calm to the war in Ukraine in talks with European Council President Charles Michel, a sign that Beijing may be trying to address one of its biggest points of friction with Europe. Noah Barkin, managing editor of Rhodium Group's China practice, discusses the context of Xi's comments on "Bloomberg Markets: European Open."

Pure distraction from the turmoil at home. Classic misdirection.

Xi: Please calm down in Ukraine, so that we can invade Taiwan

[MithunOnTheNet]

He's causing chaos and protests in his backyard and yet calling for 'calm' in Ukraine.

When was the last time Xi Jinping said something truthfully?

[jamesstmanhattan]

Didn't he give Putin a go-ahead, provided Putin would wait until the end of the Olympics?

LOL the deflection is too much to handle

[VZ-Warrior_Soul]

Yes, please calm down efforts in Ukraine so that I can invade Taiwan. Oh, I almost forgot, I tend to “not” choose my words wisely.

[H.U.ManAtWork]

Use force to calm the people of Ukraine like they do in China and Russia?

[renzadefoe]

Im waiting to see action from china. If china can stop the war, i will respect them

[nobs]

A diplomatic language telling Russia it does not have China's support

[walkingphilosopher]

There is a saying in Chinese art of war "build your opponent a golden bridge to retreat across". Only China can build that bridge for Russia. If they would do that, they will gain the respect of the world.

You want to bring calmness Mr. President....loosen up the leash!

[MrTom-klhy]

Pootin' played Xi for a fool concerning Ukraine, and despite Chinese propaganda, his people recognize that weakness.

Winnie the Pooh needs to mind his own business.

Tu-95MS strategic bombers and China's H-6K bombers carried out a joint air patrol over the Sea of Japan and the East China Sea.
This is the top news in China. You seriously need to hire someone who speaks Chinese！ So that you could understand what a double dealer Xi is.

How about helping China deal with their Covid issues in a way that they can save face...(but not too much). We're all technically competitors on this tiny planet, but Covid was a world-wide thing that effected everyone... and I'm sick of this sh*t that when humanity has a problem, a country prefers their own pride over the best solution that is currently available. Let's compete in other ways, but collaborate with regards to health and science.

Good luck with that. His own country is falling apart.
