Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun stated at the press conference that China's position on the Ukraine crisis is consistent and clear, emphasizing "We have never added fuel to the fire, sought to profit from the situation, nor accepted shifting blame and evading responsibility," when asked whether China has been supporting Russia's production of ballistic missiles by providing equipment.
At the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' regular press conference on January 29, a journalist asked: According to reports, China is supporting Russia's production of ballistic missiles by providing equipment. How does China respond to this? In addition, over the past month Russia has been using missiles and drones to strike Ukraine's energy infrastructure. What is China's comment on this? Does China plan to provide assistance to Ukraine to prevent a larger humanitarian crisis?
Guo said that China consistently calls on all parties to abide by the three principles for de-escalation—no spillover of the battlefield, no escalation of hostilities, and no provocation by any party—and to jointly create conditions for a political resolution of the crisis. China will continue to play a constructive role in its own way to alleviate the humanitarian situation in Ukraine, Guo said.
