Fu Cong, head of arms control department of Chinese foreign ministry, speaks at a news conference in Beijing, China on July 8, 2020.BEIJING - China's cooperation with Europe and other nations is "endless" just as its ties with Russia are "unlimited", China's envoy to the European Union said, giving some reassurance of China's neutrality over Ukraine in an interview published on Monday .
But its publication comes hard on the heels of controversial remarks by China's ambassador to France, who questioned the sovereignty of former Soviet Union states including Ukraine during an interview with French television on Friday. "The European side should correctly understand the reference to 'no upper limit' ", Fu told the newspaper. "Friendship and cooperation among countries are endless and should not be artificially limited. Sino-Russian cooperation is "unlimited", and the same is true for China and Europe."
EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said last month that it would be "extremely difficult" for the EU to maintain a relationship of trust with China if China does not contribute to the search for a political solution based on Russia's withdrawal from the Ukrainian territory.
