What Global South media write about Ukraine: China
The Center continues to monitor the information environment in the Global South and identifies narratives favorable to russia.
▫️ Chinese media continues to extensively cover China’s role as a peacemaker and its growing influence on the global stage. They particularly promote the Global Security Initiative (GSI), emphasizing China’s peace proposals for resolving the war in Ukraine and its “shuttle diplomacy”.
▫️ Chinese publications also echo russian narratives, blaming the West for the war in Ukraine and advocating for the creation of a “fairer” multipolar world.
▫️ Anti-American sentiments remain prevalent in Chinese media. One dominant narrative is that the U.S. instigated the Ukraine-russia conflict to serve American business interests.
▫️ President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s visit to the United States and his participation in a UN Security Council meeting have not been heavily covered in China. However, the role of the UN and other international institutions in seeking a diplomatic solution to the war in Ukraine has been emphasized.
