West's attempts to smear Beijing as Moscow's accomplice smell fishy: China Daily editorial

China Daily  

A woman walks past the banner of the Group of Seven summit at the media center in Bari, Apulia Region, Italy, June 12, 2024. Zelensky's demands are that Moscow withdraw its troops and return the territories it now controls, including Crimea, and compensate Ukraine for the damages it has suffered as a result of Russia's "special military operation". Without providing a shred of evidence, both US President Joe Biden and the G7 leaders' statement accused Beijing of supporting Russia, even as all the while they are providing military assistance to Ukraine. And the G7 statement vowed measures "against actors in China and third countries that materially support Russia's war machine …" Such allegations contraindicate their working in good faith with Beijing to secure a settlement to the crisis. But then it is questionable whether they truly seek an end to the crisis rather than imposing their long-desired vision of Russia's position and role in the European order on Moscow.
