Michael Swaine argues that the West should not dismiss China's peace plan for the Ukraine conflict but instead engage with China to explore possible peace proposals. Failing to engage could result in China shifting its stance towards Russia, damaging relationships with the West and Asian countries. Moreover, China should avoid providing military arms to Russia, as it could significantly alter China's relationship with the West and other regions.

While the US and its allies view China's effort as not credible and supportive of Russia, Swaine emphasizes that there is a need to engage with China to explore possible proposals for peace.
