• “sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries must be respected”

    when you consider the case of Taiwan

    Or sovereignty of… y’know… Ukraine

      • And if challenged in the future, they’ll make sure to creatively reinterpret any past statements to be in line with current interests. China cares about China. That’s fine, but people shouldn’t have any illusions.

    • legitimate security concerns of all countries must be taken seriously

      Also in caase of Donbas not being murdered for not supporting the coup going explicitly against them is legit security concern too.

      In that entire quote from 3 posts above, they basically said nothing they did not said before. Read: they won’t take any open action.

    • Might want to read up on why those parts are now part of Ukraine. Hint, they weren’t always part of Ukraine and was transferred by the USSR who figured that there would always be freedom of movement between them so it doesn’t really matter, kind of like how the demarcation of states in the US aren’t walls.
