China is sending a special envoy to Ukraine, Russia and Europe, in an effort to find an end to the Russian-Ukraine War. This follows an earlier visit that President Xi Jinping made to Moscow.

Earlier this year, China was also involved in brokering a truce between long-time adversaries, Saudi Arabia and Iran. Beijing has since set its sights to make peace elsewhere, as part of its Global Security Initiative. Why has China adopted the mantle of peacemaker? Can this new role achieve diplomatic wins for Beijing? Or will the troubles in its own backyard - from the South China Sea to Taiwan reunification - undermine its peace-brokering efforts?
