Mick Wallace , MEP , said that at a time when China presented the world with a peace plan for the Ukraine crisis, " the US and NATO did not want the war to stop" for their own interests.

"It was good to see China put forward a peace plan," the Irish member of the European Parliament told Xinhua during his stay in southwest China's Chongqing Municipality, the last leg of his nine-day visit to China.

Wallace, who also visited Beijing, Xi'an and Chengdu on his first trip to China, said he had the chance to understand more about the country and its people.

"The vast majority of the world votes for peace, and China finds itself on the same side as most of the world. This is incredibly important," he said.

"The United States and NATO did not want the war to stop. They prevented peace... All NATO countries and the Americans are fully arming the Ukrainians," Wallace said.

And he added, "This helps the continuation of the war," stressing that the war only suits the interests of the military-industrial complex, the United States and NATO.

He stated that some from Europe "have the arrogance to come here and lecture the Chinese on what they should and should not do, when we are actually facilitating the war by pouring weapons into it."

And Wallace added that "there is a tendency that Europe may undermine its position with China at its own expense," describing it as "a very foolish act."

"The Americans want to stop China's advance and they want Europe's support in doing so...the Americans are looking to drive a wedge between Europe and China," the European legislator said.

"If (European countries) are going to make decisions that suit the American empire more than suit the people of Europe, that would be very sad. But that is what is happening at the moment," he added.

Wallace said that Europe can have a "very healthy relationship with China" and "should not talk about the clash with China," noting that "we must have a relationship that improves the lives of Europeans and Chinese."
