One says "you can't sell things when there is war", and another one says "you can't sell weapons when there is no war"

The biggest problem with American and Western diplomacy is that they are forever demanding that other countries operate according to their values and ideas. China is more concerned with practical issues, like infrastructure development and trade. The Chinese government will never accuse any country of internal affairs unless it hurts China's economic interests there.

China: Let's talk about peace
US: China China China ...

No matter what you say about China, it wants stability and commerce, not war.

The so-called democracy value, which the US always forces other countries to follow, is not about democracy but a dictatorship from the US.

Amazing Chinese ❤ Love China from Singapore

Anything that offers peace and love is a good thing for the world.

[roddyrod]

Good for China. We should be thanking them.

2:46 China never send weapons or sold any weapons to either side of the Ukraine war and always advocated for peace and talk, at the same time USA did the opposite, how they even dare to say that is genuinely impressive.

"If U.S. doesn't like the Chinese peace proposal, where is the American peace proposal", as one of the anti-war protesters said.

[MAchannel]

As an American citizen, I love seeing China being able to negotiate these peace agreements. I wish them all the best.
China did not invade Iraq Afghanistan, Vietnam. Laos dropped the bomb on Hiroshima, but we did.
Therefore, they qualify to be the peace negotiators

Asia : peace maker
Western : war maker

Blinken says china is feeding the flames.I think he is talking about the united states.

We can't use that money our own country, huh.

[刚-oh]

You start the war, I end the war. you destruct, I construct. that are the differences.

As a Saudi, I am very happy with this deal. Firstly, it will achieve peace. Secondly, mediation is sponsored by a country that is growing strongly and is loved by both parties. Thirdly, we want to move away from American blackmail.. Our relationship with America, I do not think, will return to what it was in the past. This relationship has grown old and has become old. We must find new (real) allies.

[Andy-nozl]

Got to give credit to China for getting things done. Establishing peace is a win for everyone.
USA is use to criticizing opposition no matter what happens because it's part of their democratic culture.

[herman]

Blinken: China feeding the flame
US: Send $50bn of weapons

[strongblackcoffee]

Meanwhile the only thing our government can accomplish is agreeing to bail out corporations 🙄

[CHMichael]

Find it funny when someone does exactly what we do ... and we have a problem with it.
When ever we "helped " negotiate we always walked away with something we liked.
