The western media, oops, not the western media, it is the media of American cronies that would be making this kind of statement, that China and the US must de escalate tension. The western media would not say so. It is the intent of the US to escalate tension. China has nothing to do with the escalation. The Americans are provoking and agitating the Chinese everyday and everywhere, to raise tension and wanting to start a war with China.
Whoever makes such a statement is like saying China is also guilty of raising tension when China was and is always the victim of American provocation and aggression. Who is provocating China in the South China Sea? Who is selling weapons to Taiwan? Who is saying they would come to Taiwan's defence when Taiwan is a part of China? Who is making all the aggressive 'freedom of navigation' and war games exercises? Who is sanctioning China and starting all kinds of trade wars, tech wars, cyber wars, balloon wars?
Why is it that no one dares to call a spade a spade, to tell the warmonger Americans to stop their aggressive behaviours for peace instead of stoking for war?
The same kind of silly statements are being made on Ukraine and North Korea and Iran. Why are the west accusing the Russians for starting the war and that Russia must start to negotiate when the Russians were doing it from the start but the peace plan was scuttled by the Americans. It is the Americans that did not want peace and escalating the war in Ukraine.
It is the Americans that are conducting hostile military exercises in the Korean Peninsula to prepare for an attack on North Korea. It is the Americans that are raising tension in the Korean Peninsula, in the Persian Gulf.
Tell the Americans to stop their hostile warmongering activities and there would be lesser tension and peace. China, Russia, Iran and North Korea were on the receiving ends of American aggressive behaviour. All the troubles and tensions around the world is created by the Americans. Do not make misleading statements and disinformation to allege that China, Russia, Iran and North Korea are responsible for wars and tensions and that they must de escalate.
Tell it to the Americans. Do not make mischievous statements that the Americans are the innocent party and others are equally responsible for tensions and wars.
