Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said on Tuesday that no one wants to see the outbreak of World War III, and that China supports the settlement of the conflict in Ukraine through diplomacy, CGTN reported.
“No one wants to see World War III, it is necessary to support the process of promoting peace talks (between Russia and Ukraine),” he said at a briefing, responding to a Western journalist’s question about how the Chinese foreign ministry assesses Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s recent words about the threat of World War III.
“All parties should first support dialogue and negotiation to prevent the conflict from escalating, to avoid Europe and the world paying a greater price,” Wang said.
According to Wang, the armed conflict in Ukraine should not be allowed to become protracted. He pointed to the need to prevent negative consequences that could result in the Ukrainian conflict affecting not only Europe but the entire world.
