China dismissed Secretary of State Antony Blinken's criticism of its peace plan, characterizing the US positions on Ukraine and Taiwan as hypocritical.
"China can’t have it both ways when it comes to […] the Russian aggression in Ukraine," Blinken said on March 1."It can’t be putting forward peace proposals on the one hand, while actually feeding the flames of the fire that Russia has started with the other hand."
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning gestures during a press conference at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Beijing., calling the accusations hypocritical as the U.S. continues to fund the Ukrainian military to repel Russian invading forces.
