China Quotes Tulsi Gabbard to Blame America for Ukraine War by Frances Martel for Breitbart
China’s state-run Global Times propaganda newspaper published a column on Tuesday declaring America the true villain in the Russia-Ukraine war, citing former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard’s (D-HI) claim that blocking Ukraine from joining NATO could have prevented the war.
Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014 and the current war is eight years old. Russia has illegally occupied Ukraine’s Crimean peninsula since that year and extensive evidence indicatesMoscow has been arming separatists in the eastern Donbas region since then. The escalation that began last week followed a declaration from strongman Vladimir Putin that the two separatist groups there were actually sovereign state governments independent of Kyiv. Putin announced a full-scale assault on all of Ukraine to “de-Nazify” the country at the request, he claimed, of the “governments” of the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics.
China has played no significant role in the situation. While verbally supporting Russia’s alleged security concerns, it has refused to recognize Donetsk and Luhansk as countries and its officials have repeatedly defended Ukraine’s territorial integrity. In a phone call this weekend, Chinese dictator Xi Jinping reportedly told Putin that China supported “respecting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries.” The call resulted in Putin agreeing to peace talks with Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky that have produced no significant results at press time.

Rather than choose between Russia and Ukraine, Chinese state media outlets have taken to attacking America.
“Washington is the ‘special responsible party’ for the Ukraine crisis, and the US-led NATO holds tight the key to its solution,” the Global Times alleged.
“Throughout the development of the Ukraine crisis, it is way too obvious that the US has been creating the crisis, transferring it and profiting from it,” the newspaper accused, claiming that America’s role in the continued existence of NATO was the deciding factor in the current operation, not Putin’s decision to bomb multiple Ukrainian metropolitan areas. “Even now, it has not stopped stirring up trouble, which is quite dangerous. It has also made use of its public opinion machine to condemn others to take the international community hostage with its selfish interests.”
