The Chinese Foreign Ministry urged that "no one wants to see a third world war" after Russia raised the prospect of the "real" threat of nuclear war.
Beijing moved to make the statement in response to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, who on Monday responded to discussion about current tensions being comparable to the 1962 Cuban missile crisis.
Lavrov warned that "the risks now are considerable" in the context of the world heading towards another world war.
He also warned the west not to downplay the "serious" and "real" risks of a nuclear conflict if the United States continues to interfere in Ukraine.
"I would not want to elevate those risks artificially. Many would like that. The danger is serious, real. And we must not underestimate it," Lavrov said.
As we previously highlighted, the US military is already deeply embedded in Ukraine and is playing a substantial role in the country's response to Russia, despite official denials of boots on the ground.
According to French journalist Georges Malbrunot, who returned from Ukraine after arriving with volunteer fighters, Americans are directly "in charge" of the war on the ground.
Responding to Lavrov's comments, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin told reporters today, "No one wants to see the outbreak of a third world war."
"We hope that relevant parties can keep cool-headed and exercise restraint, prevent escalation of tension, realize peace as soon as possible and avoid inflicting a heavier price on Europe and the world," he added.
As we highlighted last month, China responded to NATO's moral exhibitionism on Ukraine by asserting, "We will never forget who bombed our embassy in Yugoslavia."
