An article in the People's Daily (March 15) signed by ' Zhongsheng' argued that the US "should
carefully reflect on its role in the Ukraine crisis, stop lying, deceiving, and misleading the
public". It said this "exposes the US' sinister intentions to keep the world in chaos". The article
stated, 'The U.S. side should reflect on its role in the Ukraine crisis, stop lying and deceit,
12
confuse people, take its due responsibilities, take practical actions to ease the situation and
solve the problem, and do things that are conducive to peace'. It said, "In promoting the
resolution of the Ukrainian crisis, the top priority is to promote peace and talks, rather than fuel
the fire." Stating that 'China is willing to continue to play a constructive role in persuading
peace and promoting talks, and to carry out necessary mediation with the international
community when necessary', it said 'China does not support the use of sanctions to solve the
Ukrainian issue, and is even more opposed to unilateral sanctions that have no basis in
international law. Sanctions have never been an effective way to solve problems' adding that
since the last 20 years the US has been imposing an increasing number of sanctions'.
