SHANGHAI/TOKYO -- China called on Tuesday for an immediate end to actions it said were "fueling the fire" in the Ukraine conflict as Beijing unveiled a wide-ranging global security plan that extends to cooperation in artificial intelligence and outer space.
Portraying China as a global peacemaker, Foreign Minister Qin Gang issued a warning over escalating the nearly 1-year-old conflict sparked by Russian's invasion of its neighbor, which Beijing resisted criticizing as it struck a "no-limits" partnership with Moscow.
