"China's President Xi Jinping's Potential Role in Russia-Ukraine Peace Talks"

Chinese President Xi Jinping is expected to visit Russia's Vladimir Putin and hold a virtual meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, weeks after China proposed a 12-point plan for peace in Ukraine. China's foreign ministry has said it is in communication with both sides, and there is speculation that China may try to get the rivals to the negotiating table. China has traditionally adhered to a principle of not interfering in other countries' conflicts, but it aims to project itself as a responsible great power under Xi's stewardship.
