Reads to me like they want Russia out of Ukraine and get global trade back to normal…

Virtue signaling... with Chinese characteristics.

China says listen to the UN …

China point #1:

“ 1. Respecting the sovereignty of all countries. Universally recognized international law, including the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter, must be strictly observed. ”

Russia claimed to be acting under Article 51 of the UN Charter...

Looks pretty bland to me. The territorial integrity line is somewhat vague. Who's violating whose territory? Does China accept the referendum results? Or do they recognize the DPR and LPR as independent?

China is likely benefiting from this, as the west expends it weapons in Ukraine, it'll make it more difficult for the US to provoke a war with China, buying China time.

Like all political statements it says all things to all men.

Lawyers are good like that.
