Analysis Li Hui’s Europe tour 2.0: Shuttle diplomacy for pro-Russian peace By Grzegorz Stec Between March 2 and 11 Li Hui, China's Special Representative on Eurasian Affairs, was back in Europe for round two of shuttle diplomacy aimed officially to “mediate and build consensus” to end the “Ukraine crisis” – Beijing’s euphemism for Russia’s invasion. In many ways it is déjà vu. In May last year Li toured the same destinations, albeit in a different order, promoting a then recently released position paper from China on the “Political Settlement of the Ukraine Crisis” (often incorrectly referred to as peace plan). This round of Li Hui’s shuttle diplomacy was about strengthening China’s position and probing the EU’s resolve to find space for a peace formula that would accommodate Russia’s demands – all the while work proceeds for the Swiss-hosted international peace conference in the summer.

In direct response, Beijing claimed the EU’s move “violates the consensus and spirit of the China-EU leaders' meeting.” And Li’s exchange with EU officials revealed he was not sent to find solutions but only to rebuke the EU’s actions. The usually upbeat Chinese readouts instead highlighted “China's stern position of firmly opposing the EU's unilateral sanctions and long-arm jurisdiction.” For context, this move hardly came out of the blue.
