China has called on the European Union and its members to avoid "bloc confrontations" while the Hungary's foreign affairs minister professed his support for China's peace plan in Ukraine, during an official visit to China this week. Beijing is willing to "jointly safeguard genuine multilateralism" and "push forward the process of democratisation of international relations" with Europe, said China's top diplomat Wang Yi. Hungary has shown the strongest pro-China stance of any EU member while Brussels is divided over relations with China.
