The United States and NATO should also engage in dialogue with Russia to unravel the crux behind the Ukraine crisis. Wang Wenbin pointed out that what is needed to resolve a crisis is calmness and rationality, not fueling the flames; what is needed to restore peace is dialogue and communication, not coercion; what is needed to achieve long-term peace and stability is to accommodate the reasonable security concerns of all parties, rather than promote group confrontation. Seek absolute security. He said that China's position is consistent with the wishes of most countries, and time will prove that China's position is on the right side of history, and any unfounded accusations and suspicions against China will be unfounded.
