China’s call for peace talks and a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine could mean a number of things, including the possibility it needs Russia’s support if it invades Taiwan, according to the former executive vice president of Fox News.

“Peace is a big word. It’s a short word, but it means so many different things,” said John Moody in an interview recorded on Feb. 23 on NTD’s “China in Focus.” He was responding to a question about Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s upcoming visit to Russia, which, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal, was to be used to call for peace and to dissuade Russia from furthering a war that could escalate into a nuclear conflict.
