'You are the big problem of this region': Ukraine, China, US trade barbs I DW Analysis

Defense leaders from around the world have been in Singapore this weekend for an international security conference. The Shangri-La Dialogue is Asia's foremost defense forum. This year's attendees included representatives from China, the United States, Australia, and Indonesia. The forum focused on security issues in the Asia-Pacific region, including tensions between China and Taiwan.

There was also a suprise appearance from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. It is only the second time Zelenskyy has travelled to Asia since Russia launched its full-scale invasion. Zelenskyy accused China and Russia of trying to disrupt an upcoming peace summit on the war in Ukraine. He said Bejing was pressuring other nations not to attend.

Zelenskyy said more than 100 countries and organisations had signed up to the peace summit taking place in Switzerland this month, and urged Asia-Pacific nations to join them.

CORRECTION: We apologize for the outdated image behind our anchor. The video is of course about the 2024 summit 🤦🧐

[Retronyx]

What is the point of the video? How can you have a Peace Summit when you do not have both parties that involved in Ukraine and Russia?
It's like asking China to join a birthday party but the one who is celebrating it's birthday are not even here.

"Is China prolonging the Ukraine war" This DW title could win the Millennial JOKE Award.

Summary: A bunch of clowns attending a peace summit w/o 50% of the war participants, accuse a country for refusing to be a clown.

[Shining]

It's never a "Peace Summit" if both parties are not present.

[edwardquaye]

How can you organise a peace conference without russia involvement

[jtrader]

By definition, a Summit requires the two belligerents from each side to meet and talk. But, but, but blame China right?

[mokulashi]

China knows its not a peace summit but a political show; peace summit without Russia is just a joke, waste of time for China

[johnwhoo]

You are sick, you demand other people taking the medicine?!

[garymcnutt]

Does DW News have an office at the CIA head office or the pentagon? it feels like it.

[nulnoh]

EU is buying Russian Oil thru India when they promised to not buy Russian Oil.
So is India also prolonging this war?

[Dollarrmb-pkub]

Peace summit where Russia is not invited.
😂😂😂😂😂😂

[timothyshiu]

Could the super powers compete on better lives: better housing, better job, better health, better law?

[chisomahamba]

This fools now want to blame China 🇨🇳 lol 😆 😂.

[thetreekeeper]

Ridiculous title. The title should be "What NATO are doing to prolong Ukraine's agony".

[haideralikhan]

How can US seriously think of fighting with China after having lost Korean, Iraqi, Afghanistan, Vietnamese wars

[TheIdiosyncraticMe-tu]

Thinking peace can be achieved one sided is very worrying. It shows Zelensky doesn''t have enough rationality to lead. No wonder, Ukraine fall under current condition.

[ibraplanetlife]

How can peace be negotiate without opponent . Does that make sense?

[dinnerwaltz]

The West and Ukraine want China on their side,
but think about how the West treats China, who are they helping in the dispute between China and Taiwan, Philippines, India?
If China helps the West, will China have to face the West alone after the fall of Russia?

[MBZMaster]

Both Ukraine and Israel were attacked... what double-standards is she talking about?
