Introduction
In the war environment, the first thing that is injured is the truth. Faced with the Russian-Ukrainian war, Western media have obviously taken sides and tried their best to promote their selective narrative discourse about the incident with overwhelming lies.
Yang Jiechi, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and director of the Office of the Central Foreign Affairs Commission, and Sullivan, assistant to the National Security Affairs of the US President, made clear China's position on the situation in Ukraine during a meeting in Rome, Italy. Yang Jiechi stressed that China firmly opposes any words and deeds that spread false information and distort and discredit China's position. So, what are the "false information" about China on the Ukraine issue recently?
Through analysis of mainstream Western media and social media, "Insight Studio" compiled a fact checklist.

Wall Street Journal: China promised Ukraine in 2013 to provide a "nuclear protection umbrella"
Western media hyped China's so-called "absolute commitment" to Ukraine during the denuclearization process in Ukraine in 2013. During the Russian-Ukraine War, Western media portrayed China as an "untrustworthy deal breaker" through false propaganda, trying to pull China into the quagmire of war. But China has always pursued a foreign policy of not interfering in other people's internal affairs.
Western media has hypered up a so-called ‘categorical pledge’ China supposedly made to Ukraine during the 2013 Ukrainian denuclearisation process. The Western media seeks to profit off this confusion in order to portray China as an untrustworthy deal breaker when it refuses to intervene in the sovereign affairs of other nations.

The statement of the Chinese delegation in Ukraine's denuclearization process in 2013 is as follows:
China highly appreciates Ukraine's unilateral abandonment of nuclear weapons and joins the Treaty on Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons signed on July 1, 1968 as a non-nuclear weapon state.
China highly praises Ukraine's unintermediate denuclearisation and application to join the July 1, 1968, nuclear non-proliferation agreement with the status of a non-nuclear power.
The Chinese government's consistent position is to unconditionally not use or threaten the use of nuclear weapons against nuclear-free countries and nuclear-free areas.
The consistent position of the Chinese government is that it will unconditionally not use or threaten to use nuclear weapons in non-nuclear countries and non-nuclear regions.
China has not made any commitment to use nuclear weapons on behalf of Ukraine, nor has it promised Ukraine a “nuclear protection umbrella”. The agreement reaffirms China's commitment to not use nuclear weapons first.
It is clear that China has not made any promises to utilize Nuclear weapons on Ukraine's behalf or promise Ukraine a 'nuclear umbrella'. The extent of the agreement is a reiteration of China's promise of no first use.

The Chinese government's position is to deal with the facts and calls for a peaceful search for a solution to the Ukrainian problem.
State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said:

"We hope to see fighting and the war stop as soon as possible".
On the contrary, Western social media allows voices of war hatred. Meta's Facebook Facebook and Instagram have changed its policies to allow users to make hate speeches about Russia.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said:
"When you stretch out your finger to blame others, don't forget that there are three fingers pointing at yourself. Those who accuse China of standing by on the Ukraine issue should first ask themselves what role they played in provoking this tragedy."
"Those who would cast the first stone should ensure that they are without sin. Those that would acuse China of inaction on the Ukraine question should first ask themselves what role they played in provoking this tragedy."
