He said China was highly concerned about the situation in Ukraine and supported all efforts that were conducive to de-escalation and a political solution.
According to Wang, Russia's demands for security issues must be followed up, considering that NATO continues to expand into the east.
Therefore, he continued, China did not agree to handle the problem through unilateral sanctions since it was not based on international law.
He reiterated that his country as a permanent member of the UN Security Council had always fulfilled its responsibilities in maintaining global peace and security.
