China's Xi says international disputes should be resolved via dialogue, not
sanctions

by VOA News

   Chinese President Xi Jinping Thursday reiterated his government's
   position that international disputes should be resolved through
   dialogue and not sanctions, a tacit reference to the West's punitive
   actions against Russia for its invasion of Ukraine.

   Speaking at a forum in Hainan, Xi said China is "committed to
   respecting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries"
   and not interfering in their internal affairs.

   "We should uphold the principle of indivisibility of security, build a
   balanced, effective and sustainable security architecture, and oppose
   the building of national security on the basis of insecurity in other
   countries," Xi said. Chin

   China has maintained close ties to Russia, not condemning its invasion
   of Ukraine while also criticizing the sanctions imposed against Russia
   in recent months.
