First modification:
The head of US diplomacy, Antony Blinken, said China is considering sending weapons to Russia for its war against Ukraine. These are “false” claims, Beijing replied. It is one of the clearest warnings from Washington that China may be ready to go beyond rhetorical, political or diplomatic support for Russia and help it with weapons for its war in Ukraine, which turns one year old this week.
Any arms supplies from China to Russia for the war in Ukraine “would cause a serious problem,” Blinken also warned Beijing in an interview with NBC the day before.
“Our concern is based on information we have that (the Chinese) are considering providing lethal support” to Moscow for use in its invasion of Ukraine, Blinken told CBS.
Asked what this type of support would imply, the Secretary of State said: “Everything, from ammunition to the weapons themselves.”
The US secretary of state has warned him of the “implications and consequences” for China if it is found to be providing “material support” to Russia in Ukraine or helping it evade Western sanctions for its invasion, State Department spokesman Ned said. Price, reporting on the bilateral interview.
Speaking to ABC on Sunday, Blinken stressed that US President Joe Biden had warned his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping as early as last March not to send weapons to Russia.
Since then, “China has been careful not to cross that line, even delaying the sale of lethal weapons systems for use on the battlefield,” according to a Biden administration source familiar with the matter.
China denies
Beijing on Monday dismissed as “false” the statements of the head of US diplomacy, Antony Blinken.
“We do not accept the United States pointing fingers at China-Russia relations, let alone exerting coercion and pressure,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said at a press conference in which he accused United States of “spreading false information”.
The spokesman added that “it is the United States and not China that is constantly sending weapons to the battlefield.”
