Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning

China's position on the Ukraine crisis is very clear. The "four musts" put forward by President Xi Jinping are our fundamental guidelines: China maintains that the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries must be respected, the purposes and principles of the UN Charter must be fully observed, the legitimate security concerns of all countries must be taken seriously, and all efforts that are conducive to the peaceful settlement of the crisis must be supported, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said on Tuesday when responding to a question whether China's call to respect all countries' sovereignty following the developments in Venezuela also applies to Ukraine. 

Mao also noted that from the very first day of the crisis, China has persisted in promoting peace and facilitating talks, and pushing for a political settlement of the crisis. China's objective and impartial stance and the efforts it has made are evident for all to see.
