If China is called “ready to continue playing a constructive role” to “facilitate dialogue” in what it continues to call the “Ukrainian crisis”, no one must be wrong: friendship Between China and Russia is “eternal” and resistant “foolproof,” said Monday, March 7, the Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi at his annual press conference.
