Beijing has previously avoided involvement in conflicts between other countries but appears to be trying to assert itself as a global diplomatic force after arranging talks between Saudi Arabia and Iran in March that led them to restore diplomatic relations after a seven-year break. Xi told Zelenskyy that a Chinese envoy would visit Ukraine and 'other countries' to discuss a possible political settlement, according to a government statement.
