China has expressed its stance on the ongoing crisis in Ukraine. The Foreign Ministry said on Monday that China would not interfere with the domestic politics of Ukraine, and called on all parties involved to resolve differences through dialogue.
"China is very concerned over the current situation in Ukraine. We hope the two opposing sides in Ukraine will peacefully resolve the domestic crisis through political negotiations within the framework of the law. We also hope the rival sides will realize political stability and restore social order as soon as possible. It is known that China never interferes in other country's internal affairs, so China will not interfere in Ukraine's internal affairs. We respect the choices made by the people of Ukraine, according to their domestic situation. China is willing to continue the strategic partnership with Ukraine on the basis of equality and mutual benefit," Hua Chunying, spokeswoman of Chinese Foreign Ministry, said.
