Let's see what the global north and south come down on w/r to peace vs war bloomberg.com Not Everyone Is Laughing Off Xi’s Plan for Peace in Ukraine In much of the Global South, the Chinese leader is seen as a peacemaker while many Western leaders are regarded as warmongers. Bobby Ghosh 24 March 2023 at 03:50 GMT+8 The statesman takes a bow. Photographer: Qilai Shen/Bloomberg Xi’s peacemaker act has an appreciative worldwide audience.Cement prices threaten Biden’s infrastructure plans.Why do so many people want to buy Manchester United?The Global South Sees Xi as Peacemaker It was easy enough for the US and other Western governments to dismiss China’s peace plan for the war in Ukraine when it was proposed last month — and there was scorn to spare when President Xi Jinping raised it again during his recent visit with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Critics point out that the plan secures Russian territorial gains and gives Putin breathing space to rebuild his badly damaged fighting force. But Pankaj Mishra argues that, for many outside the West, the Chinese leader comes off as a global statesman. Nations in the Global South that want an end to the war — and the inflation and shortages that have accompanied it — welcome his offer to mediate between the belligerents. Many African and Latin American leaders buy Putin’s argument that NATO and the US are responsible for provoking the war. China benefits from having little historical baggage in many former Western zones of influence around the world. Also helpful to China is the US’s long record of failed wars, abortive nation-building and hypocritical moralizing. “This week’s 20th anniversary of the war in Iraq was a reminder to many of that conflict’s still unaccountable perpetrators and uniformly abysmal legacies, from Islamic State to Donald Trump,” Pankaj writes. At the same time, China is getting credit for mediating an agreement between Iran and Saudi Arabia, which holds out the prospect of ending the long and bloody civil war in Yemen. This further burnishes Xi’s peace-making credentials. Even if his Ukraine plan goes nowhere, China’s new reputation as mediator will grow in relative terms so long as the US seems more committed to war than peace.
