China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson refused to categorize Russia’s attack as an “invasion” during a news conference Thursday.
That's according to an official translation of her Mandarin-language remarks.
Later on Thursday, the ministry said Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi had a call with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. Wang said China always respects each country's sovereignty, and that the Ukraine issue is complex, according to the official readout. Earlier in the week, Putin formally recognized the independence of two separatist regions in eastern Ukraine. The U.S. and Europe had attempted to prevent an attack with a series of sanctions on Russian individuals, financial institutions and sovereign debt."China is clearly sympathetic to Russian perspectives," said Tong Zhao, a senior fellow in the Nuclear Policy Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, based in Beijing.
