In the absence of U.S. initiative, China had put forth a 12-point paper calling for a “political settlement” between Ukraine and Russia, which included calls to “respect national sovereignty” and draw down sanctions.
The plan is as follows:
- 1. Respecting the sovereignty of all countries.
- 2. Abandoning the Cold War mentality.
- 3. Ceasing hostilities.
- 4. Resuming peace talks.
- 5. Resolving the humanitarian crisis.
- 6. Protecting civilians and prisoners of war (POWs).
- 7. Keeping nuclear power plants safe.
- 8. Reducing strategic risks.
- 9. Facilitating grain exports.
- 10. Stopping unilateral sanctions.
- 11. Keeping industrial and supply chains stable.
- 12. Promoting post-conflict reconstruction.
Though China’s proposal is obviously not set up to be advantageous to the West, the bulk of the proposals are reasonable for all parties prima facie.
And at least the communist nation offered a plan for peace at all.
Biden and Ukraine have not only rejected numerous calls for peace negotiations, but have even escalated their saber-rattling towards Russia, insisting that no negotiations will take place until Russian forces leave Ukraine.
