"China is closely following the development of the Ukraine situation (after being attacked by Russia) and supports all efforts that are conducive to easing the situation and seeking political settlement. China noted the relevant parties' statements on the nuclear issue. I want to stress once again that, when it comes to European security, all countries' legitimate security concerns should be taken seriously. When NATO has made five waves of eastward expansion, Russia's legitimate demands should be taken seriously and addressed properly. Relevant parities should exercise restraint and avoid further escalation of the situation."
