Xi Jinping Hosts Brazil’s Lula in Controversial Diplomatic Push for Ukraine Cease-Fire
Lula’s trip to Shanghai and Beijing comes as Xi embarks on a round of diplomacy in the weeks after visiting Moscow, where he strengthened political ties with Russian President Vladimir Putin even while touting Beijing’s vague blueprint for peace that included a call for a cease-fire in Ukraine. The Chinese leader last week hosted French President Emmanuel Macron and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to discuss the effort.
“It is urgent that we end deaths, destruction and activities that are encouraging inflationary pressure in all countries,” Vieira said. “It’s not just any visit — it’s Lula,” said Karin Vazquez, a non-resident fellow with think tank Center for China and Globalization, who is based in Shanghai. “He’s very respected as a global leader, and from the Chinese perspective indicates the relevance of Brazil and other emerging countries in the making of Xi’s ‘New Era.’”
It is Lula’s third major visit abroad since he took office at the start of the year, after visits to Argentina in January and the US in February. The trip to Washington occurred without the sort of business mission that traveled to China last month as part of Lula’s previously scheduled trip, and it ended without any substantial new bilateral accords.
