As a permanent member of the UN Security Council, China bears “particular responsibility,” Michel told journalists in Beijing on Thursday after talks with China’s head of state and party leader Xi Jinping. He very much hopes that the international community, “including China”, can convince Russia to end the war. President Xi and he agreed that nuclear threats are “unacceptable and highly dangerous.”
