Chinese authorities asked this Wednesday “calm” and “containment” in the face of a new nuclear doctrine ratified Tuesday by Russian President Vladimir Putin, which expands the type and origin of threats that Moscow could respond to with this type of weaponry.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said at a press conference that “under the current circumstances “It is necessary for all parties to act calmly and work together to pave the way for dialogue,” according to the state newspaper Global Times.

Thus he expressed the importance “reduce tensions” through “consultations” and reduce “strategic risks”, a few words that are consistent with Beijing’s position on the war since the invasion of Ukraine began almost three years ago.

In this sense, he emphasized that The Asian giant’s position on the conflict “remains consistent and clear” and expressed hope that “all countries will take the necessary measures to reduce tensions and take a decision that will end the crisis.” “This position has not changed, and China will continue to play a constructive role on this issue,” he said.

Ratification of this new doctrine will occur after The US allowed Ukraine to use American long-range weapons to attack Russian territory, prompting Moscow to stress that the measure implies an increase in tensions and represents, if confirmed, another step in Washington’s “direct participation” in the conflict.
