"China could end" the conflict between Russia and Ukraine "instantaneously"

CNN Portugal29 August 2026 at 00:03

The ambassador José Manuel Pinto Teixeira considered "concerning" the fact that a majority in democratic countries are starting to view China more favorably. His statements come at a time of growing international tension.

According to the ambassador, China would have the capacity to instantly end the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, suggesting that Beijing holds significant influence over Moscow that could be used to resolve the war.

The reference to the positive perception of China in democratic countries reflects a broader concern about geopolitical alignment and international relations in the context of prolonged war in Europe.

The ambassador's statements come within the framework of a broader debate about China's role in the international arena and its position regarding the conflict affecting European stability.
