The United States is afraid of being “pushed into a corner” amid denial of China’s plan to resolve the situation in Ukraine. Denying this issue could help the Chinese side prove that America is not interested in peace, Bloomberg reports, citing a US administration official.
“The United States fears being cornered by the Chinese proposal… Complete denial could allow China to prove to other countries tired of war and the economic damage it causes that Washington is not interested in peace,” the material says.
It is said that despite the skepticism expressed publicly by US officials, the proposed plan and the meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin have raised concern from the US administration.
“The Biden administration has tried to keep China out of the way since the beginning (of the conflict) in Ukraine, but the opposite seems to have happened…China is finding a receptive audience for its broader diplomatic efforts through the world,” the article said.
Vladimir Putin said earlier that the settlement of the Ukrainian conflict could be based on China’s peace plan, but it is necessary for the West and Kiev to be ready for this.
