China Intensifies Efforts to Mediate Ukraine Conflict

China's special envoy embarks on a new shuttle diplomacy tour, aiming to foster peace talks between Russia and Ukraine.

China's special envoy for Eurasian affairs, Li Hui, launches a new shuttle diplomacy tour to mediate the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war.
The tour includes visits to Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Germany, France, and the European Union headquarters in Brussels.
Observers maintain low expectations for the tour's success, citing previous attempts that failed to yield immediate results.
Critics argue China's mediation efforts are more about diplomatic posturing than genuine peacemaking.
China faces criticism for its close relationship with Moscow and refusal to denounce Russia's military actions, despite presenting itself as a neutral party seeking peace.
