Einar Tangen, a senior fellow of Taihe Institute, said that China wanted to start a dialogue between Ukraine and Russia before meeting French President Emmanuel Macron and EU chief Ursula von der Leyen. “From China’s perspective, you have to engage in dialogue, and right now, since there is none, they want to start one. There are real concerns in Beijing that this thing [war] is going out of control……..this is not the way to go,” Tangen said.
