- Top diplomats from the EU are meeting via videoconference Friday with China's leaders to discuss urgent matters including the war in Ukraine, the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change. Chinese President Xi Jinping addressed the afternoon session with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, European Council President Charles Michel and the EU's foreign affairs chief Josep Borrell. He called on the EU and China "to prevent spillovers of the crisis." Earlier they spoke with Li Keqiang, premier of China's state council. Li told his European counterparts China "opposes division of blocs and taking sides," a Chinese diplomat told German press agency DPA. State broadcaster CCTV said Li added China is pushing for peace in "its own way." Von der Leyen said after, "We made very clear China should not interfere with our sanctions."

Where was the sanctions when us attacked Iraq?
In dustbin
The EU banned buying grass and poop from the US.
True and keep in mind france and germany in particular made no friends with the US when they decided not to help; but your point proves exactly the problem we face with russia and china … when you are big and powerful, no one can really scratch your face.
Ergo, you decide, who do you want to be the big guy … somewhat democratic country (with highly questionable actions over decades) or a communist or a complete autocratic country. No judgement who you choose, but don’t say afterwards we haven’t warned you.
Where was sanction on iraq when they invaded iran and killed millions of kurds?
@@korbin4510 there were no sanctions becuz the west supported the war against iran
I like how 🇺🇸 USA casually asked China 🇨🇳 to join sanctions, forgetting they still have ongoing Trade war with so many Chinese companies penalized.
You like that Huh? Well lots of US companies are banned in China too like facebook twitter youtube google. In fact any information company that China cant control and hide what they are doing to thier own people in Hong Kong amd Xinjiang
Are these the companies that engage in technology theft?
The 😴 sleepy Joe must've totally forgot about Trade war.... 😂
You mean that China doesn't compeate fairly with democratic countries?
More people should realize that's a bully's shameless behavior.
When EU is able to help itself, others might take it seriously. Right now EU is dependent on Russia for energy, China for its economy, and US for its security. The end.
Truth.
Turkey shouldn't join the EU, it's a trash organization.
Look london.. his mayor is from india.. LOL
@@theroldan8675 wat does that have to do with anythin🤡🤡 was he not born in London? He’s British does it matter where his parents came from. Didn’t Britain go to places like India and Jamaica? And u complain when we do it back to u.
And now EU gonna depend on US in Military, Energy and Economy.
Game Over. European dreams is over. US had killed it.
True. Europe really has to become independent.
Did EU and the western countries condemn US attacked Syria and Iraq?
Well many of EU countries didn't join "coalition of the willing" which led to Rumsfeld's division on old and new Europe. This created big tensions between certain European countries and US. I agree with China's officials on the part that EU foreign policy needs a backbone but maybe some plurarity isn't always bad. It is at least better than simply being wrong.
Whataboutism.
@@williamthesilent1849 Hypocrisy.
China a nation that has not dropped a single bomb on another country in the last 40 yrs. think about that.
Yet now you are forcing China into a war.
USA and EU banning China from Chips, starving China of Chips. And we know Taiwan has Chips. SMH 😥. Is this it? You want war? You want death? You want suffering.
@@leihtory7423 China is not being forced anything. It's being asked to do the right thing and condemn the war and the deaths of innocent civilians. Instead, China did nothing. I would not expect anything from a country that commits genocide on it's own people and tries to cover it op
Never they are the submissive followers, and America is the master. Just look how Germany has been sanctioned from Russian gas and how France has been a sanctioned from Syrian oil. And France and Germany must buy their stuff from guess who???? Yes American gas and oil. Where the Americans will get it from??? Yes from Syria and Russia...
Mrs.Von der Leyden should do well to remember that her first duty is to serve Europe, not America.
It is difficult to make friends with neighbors but that is something you must do unless you just do not want to.
She is puppet!
She is totally unqualified for this position and the previous positions she held before.
Couldn't agree more.

As journalism, please have some dignity and honestly report the fact.
India 1.3 billion people, Africa 1.2 billion, China 1.4 billion, and most ASEAN 0.5 billion, they do not saction Russia.
So most of the world do not take side.
They do. Remember 2 People cant really represnt the views of 2.5 billion people. And secondly, each nation more or less has 1 vote, regardless of size, and 140 nations, out of 190, voted agsinst Russia.
@@sirairili1570 then ask those 140 nations to sanction everything from Russia. Tell US to sanction fertilizers, Europe to sanction gas. The neutral countries should be the least of your concerns if that vote is such a major thing.
European and American likes to urge people. Get lost. other countries like China is bigger than all the west combine and their civilization is more than 5000 years old. Who is the west to urge or force anyone?
@JK Lee you seem to come from China, and yet claim to be a "journalist"? Tell me, how do you write about news that deviates from state narrative? Are you allowed to call the Ukainian war a "war"? How do you deal with menaces such as political prisonment? How "free" is your pen?
They obviously meant most of economic world. E.g. Germany might be small by population but it’s economy is huge 3.8 trillion $ while whole Africa it’s only 2.6 trillion $. Number of population is irrelevant. Also this war is a war about economic power not about people.
Why does the E.U. think they can tell China what to do?
First of aoll, nobody tells China what to do. But China is a dictatorship, just like Russia, and the EU can tell China what will happen if China aids Russia to circumvent the sanctions that the West has set on Russia. After all, the EU is the biggest trading partner of China. Now China can do what it likes to. But if China aids Russia to circumvent the sanctions, there will be consequences.
It’s Uk and USA telling the world what to do!!!
Because without EU and USA, china will end up worse than Russian. china's economy is way more dependent with western countries.
Because European Union is the biggest and most influential trading block in the world. Over half of entire world trade goes through Europe, so the EU is the most powerful trading Superpower. Its more powerful than China economically, politically as well as militarily. So why wouldn't EU impose its interests?
Bottom line is, if you want access to our Single Market and with that the world trade you will play by our rules.
@@marinonino4350 economically? Lol yeah, good luck with the gas
Never seen EU be so aggressive to speak out when US invading other countries. But considering there were US troops on their soil till now, it's understandable EU has to follow US' strategy and policy.
Many People were outraged ans demonstrated against war and alsp pressure from other parties accured something what in China alsmot never happens never
Also many EU countrys were against a US War also they blamed them rememeber Sweden or Lithaun they pointed these atrocities commit by the US out
How are your concentration camps going? Still going strong?
EU spoke nothing when Grandpa SAM invaded Irak, Afghan, Libya and others.
What a hypocrisy
@@karangputih Russians are murdering thousands of civilians in the Ukraine and arresting 15000 protesters inside Russia, and you're worried about hypocrisy? Is hypocricy really the largest issue the world is facing right now? Really?
China: I am just businessman, doing business.

@LuckieLuuke That sounds like what an advocate for imperialism\colonialism would say.
yeah, china should stop doing that
@@luckieluuke131 So stop complaining about Putin and Russia. Are we to assume that "perspectives" exist only in the minds of the likes of Anthony and Ursula?
Believe it or not, well over half of our planet's Human population are citizens of nations leaning towards or openly supporting Russia. Did you even notice the results of the elections in Hungary and Serbia, both of which were monitored by hundreds of international observers? Are Russia's friends, China and India, who collectively represent far more of the world's population than the EU, Canada, Australia, and the US, devoid of "perspective" and global interests? Perhaps you should view the surreal, rant filled comments section for today's NY Times article on China and Russia, to see how far removed from reality your unilateral "perspective" really is.
One key thing EU seems not understand is that trade is mutually beneficial to both side. It is not a favor EU gives to China. It is EU who try play politics and interfere with China internal issues. Another things is that EU seems feel China needs EU more, on the contrary it is EU needs China more.
😂 sure sure, EU's economists haven't figured that out, but you have.
@@freespiritable they had figured it out but politicians decided on important choice.

Look at the trade balance. Chins is an important market for VW but overall China sells more in the EU than vice versa.
@@patrickmccutcheon9361
china is an export oriented economy. they need to export or else
If China has to consider EU's security interest, does it mean that the EU will also consider China's security interest?
no, china will be let to sell her goods in EU
what security interest ? the uighurs in xinjiang ? their claim on the Free Country Taiwan? Killing of Freedom in Hong Kong?
If china is attacked Europe would support them.
We will just stop buying cheap Chinese rip offs , and buy from internal market
China's security interest isn't the whole South pacific sea tho
LOL, your enemy urge you not to be close with your ally. And, your enemies think you might listen.
Haha yup, the EU is just saying this for their domestic audience. China isnt listening as they have already answered this question multiple times. They said they would not take sides and support the peace and cease fire in Ukraine
"not take sides", they have clearly taken a side lol. They are clearly helping Russia ease some of the negative effects of western sanctions.
That's a lame take, Mr. Li. The EU and the US are not asking nicely. They are warning.

Europe should stop buying oil and gas from Russia first before asking China what to do😂
Isn't that what they are now moving towards? Meanwhile China is increasing the amount they purchase from Russia. Nice try though
@@potatopower2144 why China should follow Europe? is China part of EU?
Then China export goods made from those materials, oil, gas to EU and America, do you think EU and America really want china to stop using energy from Russia, specially given the high inflation nowadays.
I am so tired of hearing the word “human rights”. The word means a whole lot different things under different context. You cannot use it as a bargaining chip every time to have diplomatic meetings.
Selective human rights. Some humans have more rights than others.
Almost like selective hearing.
I think human rights are dependent on the country your living some countries have more human rights than others.
Nope there's a UN Charta that was signed by the Ccp. But we all know human rights in China is worth even less than the dog meat you sell in yulin 🤮😂😂😂😂.

@JJ LongeMann still using caps lock, it makes you look like a Karen.
I am confused...China is Buying Oil from Russia ...this is a Problem. However, EU's energy purchase from Russia is not a Moral/Ethical Problem.
I am not that smart, someone Smart can explain to me what I am missing here. My Head started to hurt when I tried to solve this riddle.
You may not be white/civilised enough to understand morality.
NATO is in war with whole world...their economy is finished and they can survive only on expense of other region..so they seek war or something..at least to bluff own citizens in blame games.
Because white people good, China bad. Duh......
They cry about India buy oil from old friend Russia 24*7
The EU is asking China not to help Russia avoid the sanctions.
The sanctions do not cover all oil and gas exports or all trade. They are limited.
Does that help you?
Question is, how come the EU has not intervened BEFORE the war broke out. It was under the eyes of everyone in EU the billions of dollars invested by the US in weapons and training to Ukraine, and the dramatic situation in Dombass. What's the purpose of having a costly EU apparatus if it's unable to operate when it's mostly needed? Besides, is EU autonomally assessing and pursuing its interests which are different from those of the US? I have many doubts.
It has always been The West’s aggressive nature and they chose a blind eye over NATO’s constant desire to expand. All their justification are based on their so called ‘democracy ideology’ but we can’t deny that it was in Europe where all the world wars started.
Put Xi on trial for crimes against humanity and carve China up so they can never threaten anyone. China must forever be monitored.
Secondly: you need to understand that the EU NEVER had anything to say about the competence of Defence. That was the choice of the member-states. They didn't want to release their sovereignty in this matter. It's as simple as that. Any initiative to cfhange this, was blocked by the UK, that feared that an EU-army was dangerous for the survibval of NATO. So, the EU had NEVER any soldiers under its jurisdiction.
Thirdly: when we had the uncertainty of the Trump presidency, the member-states agreed to let the EU take it first steps into the field of Defence. To break the dependency of EU-nations from USA-weapons, the EU has been given the right to sponsor the development of new weapon systems on condition that at least 3 member-startes are working together on this new weapon system. The EU played the role of bank. That was all it was allowed to do.
Fourthly: now, thanks to the war in Ukraine (a crise, which is always good for the EU, because it always comes out of a crise stronger than it went in), the member-states have approved of an EU Rapid Reaction Force (5000 soldiers of which Germany proposed to be the heart). W.o.w. now, for the first time in its history, the EU has jurisdiction over 5000 soldiers. It still lacks the approval of the member-states to 'command' any more soldiers. |It was a long time on its way, this Rapid Reaction Force, but it used to be blocked by the UK, that thought that even this was dangerous for the survival of the NATO
Fifthly: you have to understand that also foreign policy is a competence where the EU has nohing to say about. This competence resides completely with the member-states. Of course, they talk about it, in the seat of the EU. And when they reach unanimity concerning something, the High Representative of the EU can come into action and can talk to foreign leaders about that specific topic. If unanimity isn't reachred, the the High Representative of the EU has to stay home.
Sixtly: of course there are topics in which the interests of the EU member-states don't allign with the interests of the USA. You can give the international criminal court (warcrimes), as example. Or the treatment of the Palestinians by the Israelites.
Europe bullying China 😂 no chance
The West hasn't yet gotten used to the power shift ye, but like the laws of nature, power returning to the central kingdom (china) is an inevitable thing.
No amount of power gained will last long in a country that uses a single party communist government that unilaterally imposes laws against citizens owning guns, dictating what religion they can believe, who is allowed or not allowed to have children, and what books or media they are allowed to read.
China chasing power will be like a sponge; the harder they squeeze, the more they’ll lose.
Factor all of that into your applying the laws of nature. Cheers.

It will be hard to convince the world otherwise because EU is buying energy from Russia. Meanwhile, if EU would start taking supplies from middle east, energy will skyrocket and while EU can pay high energy cost many in the world cannot. Many countries can not afford social destabilization this time because of already high inflation.
That will be real easy.
What EU wants is, to get alignment from other part of the world, on paper, or on lip-work.
because that's what US is doing on EU: stop Stream2, and EU is paying for expensive US gas.
But again, EU and US are aligned in condemning Russia, on paper.

These past colonial powers need to learn to respect other sovereign nations. They don’t exist to heed their dictate.

''The European Union has displayed a politically and rhetorically anti-China stand - on issues related to China's Xinjiang, Hongkong, Taiwan, as well as provacation of Lithuania - but is now asking China to "help" solve a problem which several Union members have contributed vitally to as NATO members.

China is needed to close the hole in the destroy the Russian economy net. The move is rational. NATO had slackened off its military expenditures.

EU nations are nothing more than vassal states to the US. All they’re doing is voicing the US govt’s position.
They pretend they can to their massess in order to make it look like they are the strong ones.
China 👉 Pariah.
The European economy relies heavily on the performance of the German economy. The German economy relies heavily on the Chinese market. China's energy security relies heavily on Russia. Half of China's economic development depends on the world. Therefore, European people must understand their position in world politics and economy. Be independent and decide your own destiny. I suggest that the EU better follow ASEAN's approach. Don't step into China and America's great power struggle.
Russia is completely marginal to China's economy. Sure, Russia sells cheap fossil fuels to China, probably at firesale prices soon, but while a windfall, China doesn't depend on that. Besides, China like all other countries need to switch to renewable energy.
Thucydides' trap is nonsense. US and China can both prosper, and that would be not only to the advantage of these two, but the rest of the wold. This is not what we're talking about.

EU: sovereign nations are aloud to partner with whoever. Respect ukraine sovereignty
Also EU: china must not partner with Russia we will not accept that.
Nah, it’s actually is:
EU: China must respect Ukraine sovereignty
Also EU: China has no sovereignty. Let’s disucuss Taiwan Hongkong Tibet issues.
It’s just double standard
so china must listen EU

China can do what they want. They simply shouldn't expect to retain their trade deals with the EU - it's the SOLE authority of the EU to make decisions about their trade policy.
@@martinusv7433 China is not interested in Europe trade deal. German car business Rely heavily on China market.
It's really bad when you have to depend on your enemies to survive.
China does not see the EU as an enemy. It sees the US as an enemy but not the EU. There is no need to make an enemy out of China for the EU.
It's really bad when "using poor countries as cheap labour like an infinite money glitch" has consequences.
I think it's worth reminding everyone that up until about a month ago Russia was not perceived as an enemy so much as it was a trading partner same goes for China. These trade arrangements are a lot more complicated than you could even conceive and go a long way in achieving the purpose of stability and peace than they do strife. Your comment actually does more damage because it breeds discontent and misinformation. You are clearly not qualified to be discussing global affairs even at the most fundamental level.
It's really bad when you make who you depend to survive your enemies.
@@alx1719 and it's not bad when the country having pollution offloaded to them for low-wage labour is somehow "eating your lunch" and is an "enemy" for existing. Do these geniuses and saints hear themselves?
Hmm, a very strange and odd request.
I believe EU already know who china would side with.... and thus, so why the request....
Tasks given by USA🤣
I have to say China, India, and most Asian countries will only pick their own sides, based their own national interest. Picking any side between Russia and NATO is meanlingless. These countries are not as rich as EU, they have to care their own people, enable their people not from losing job, starvation etc..
you wish so.. sure, just Russophobic with madness obessiton
Well say. 👏👏👏
BRICS - Brazil Russia India China and South Africa- many more preparing to join them
This is like asking Europe not to side with the U.S.
Absolute effing bonkers!
Asking EU stand up for your own interest and have some spine not licking US balls ! What's wrong with there ?
EU and US keep singing a different tones "urge China to sanction Russia", "China help stop the war", "warn China not to interfere" 🙄
EU is delusional racist bunch of dead brain...they are out of their depth this time around
The message is pretty clear. China should condemn the war and join the EU in sanctioning Russia instead of backing a murderous dictator

I can’t even believe this mediocre report from DW. Totally negative and bias. If you just change the name from DW to CNN or MSNBC, you would not be able to find difference in narratives at all.

No, we don't. Full stop.

then good luck to India ....
EU knows this . Putin has created the next superpower - Europe .
Viva la India!!! Thank goodness for wisdom of Indian foreign minister unlike UK foreign minister who helped brought all this huge oil sanction problem making more poverty for own country/people for decades to come.

Are we telling countries what to do? Absolutely no, it's just our right to chose with whom we want to trade... Where's the problem with that? If some countries behave in a way that damages us, should we continue to trade with them? Are we supposed to trade with anybody that wants to trade with us?
Double standards against skin colour.
Of course you can not dictate on any sovereign country it’s non of your busses
EU has the US approval to go ahead with the summit.
There are people amongst us that are payed very well to know better, people who were given responsibility over others for that reason. clearly we have a culture of overlooking such things today..
That's why German politicians looking so angry with their own poor level of preparation for this fully expected and planned war. Act fast, NOW! Stop funding this war!

Typical internet experts that do nothing but write empty posts, confusing their opinion with facts and knowing everything better than the actual professionals.
EU is insane, to learn the Chinese masterpieces of all the great books, and philosophy firstly, then you may change your mind, instead of “warming” China!
what happened to the BRICS group- is that still a thing, I havn't heard anything in awhile
Invest in Europe, not in China.
what I heard, EU because this, because that. the truth is only because have to. As a dog of US, EU can't make its own decision, no matter US order EU to do, EU have to do it. this explained every strange actions from EU in the past. Hope one day EU can claim its Independence so can get respection from China or any other counties.
do you think chinese people are more free than europeans??? tell the truth the dog is communist
Is there a Chinese person who dares to protest the war that Russia made in Ukraine in mainland China??? Yes, they will be caught and punished
You enjoy media freedom outside of China to criticize your government whereas you Chinese people don't have the freedom to criticize your government. really a cowardly country.
Respection? Hello Wumao!
good point
The whole world should separate the debate of political adventure and doing trade and business as it is closely related to the livelihood of the general public. If you mix it together, the globalized world economy does not work at all, and the most affected will be the lower class people.
Not when the Russian army is commiting war crimes.
@@doc_siddio so what you gonna do about it how you punish russia for their war crimes
@@pubg3188 That's easy, make europeans unemployed and freeze in winter. That will teach Russia! ;)
I also guarantee that Africa is going to be next china in 50 years🤣🤣🤣
so EU have to wait 50 years to be supply with cheap consumers' goods
how about state sovereignty? as an independent country, China can choose whom to be friend and whom to side with.
How about a recommendation based on reason? Is talking between sovereign nations forbidden? Is making suggestions forbidden? Since when?
China is helping EU as Russia is not selling nature gas and food then EU. We are buying it from Russia and then selling to EU, it is so sad that we are forced to earn so much money from EU from this deal. We are now counting money with tears in our eyes.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😡😡😡
hahahahahahahaha
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
The United States says your natural gas price is too cheap. I have a good one, which is five times the price. Europe must accept it, otherwise it will have no democratic value. America's allies have always been betrayed.
Exactly. It is all economic for China, just like every country pretty much all the time. They'll do the trade comparison and act accordingly. China doesn't want to conquer large countries militarily anyway. They'd rather just buy them, which they are doing all over the world. Own the corporations, enough of them, and you pretty much own the govt.
Well said.
That’s a conspiracy theory. There is no such ownership or control taking place.
Former European colonial powers are upset bc they cannot abuse Russia and China as they did to Libya,Iraq,Syria,JEmen,Afganistan,serbia,mali..
They learn from US.
since China knows that winning a war without battle is the best,
conquering a country far away is quite a waste of time and energy, and impossible to maintain, iust like the short-lived Mongol and Japanese Empires,
so cooperation and and creating wealth together is the best solution,
Think of the EU: speaking for Europe
The actual EU: speaking for the United States
EU should really focus on European security architecture with importance to local EU countries ....and de-couple it from far off countries like US and China ...
US has different interests than EU ...but presence of 100000 US soldiers on European soil makes major and minor EU nations as almost slaves for US ....that is deplorable ...
Why doesn't EU take it's own foreign policy stance. Why should EU follow the USA?
You should open some books before talking of things that you don't understand.
Colonies of US troops
EU is next door to the terror from Russia.
US is an ocean away. Whose backyard is on fire? You obviously miss that.
@Tagedieb Asia is not only Japan, South Korea, Singapore
The world urges EU to mind your own business and respect other country's sovereignty
Europe should stop buying oil and gas from Russia first before asking China what to do😂
Why would China help the EU? For centuries different European nations have taken advantage of the Giant.
Yes, I believe China will help different European states but not the EU.
CHINA knows who the real enemy of the world is,the western mafias treating the rest of the world as their slaves

If China enters, there will be no more global supply chains, and the entire system would collapse. including china itself.
It was amusing to see EU come to lecture China how to behave from a position of weakness. Maybe they should have suggested EU pay for all future goods in Yuan as well ?
China is developing a state-backed digital Yuan to trade in. This is part of the BRI scheme and with a view to it becoming the reserve currency to replace the dollar. I'm totally serious and this will happen in about the next decade. It will cause the dollar to weaken in value, probably crash in fact.
Ayo but for real though the two flags with stars red and blue blend in perfectly and it looks super dope.
Countries will have to realize they have their own manufacturing capabilities, they can become far less dependent while helping themselves economically.
not everyone has their own energy resources.
but not efficiently. Their are huge competition in the world. only if you learned from the DPRK who is isolated from the world.
