Blinken hopes China takes US warnings seriously and refrains from helping Russia.
The administration of US President Joe Biden is concerned that China is considering the possibility of supplying weapons to the Russian Federation. The US has warned China of the consequences of providing such support. This was announced by US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken at a press conference in Kazakhstan, CNN reports.
“We will not hesitate to strike Chinese companies or individuals that violate our sanctions or are otherwise involved in supporting the Russian war effort,” he said.
Blinken said he raised the issue “directly” with top Chinese diplomat Wang Yi when he met him on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference, and US President Joe Biden spoke about it with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Indonesia in November .
As the US Secretary of State said, if China supports Russia’s military actions, it will create a “serious problem” for US-China relations, as well as China’s relations with other countries in the world.
Blinken hopes China takes US warnings seriously and refrains from helping Russia.
“China cannot do both when it comes to Russia’s aggression in Ukraine. It is impossible, on the one hand, to promote peace proposals, and on the other hand, to actually add to the flames of the fire lit by Russia,” he stressed .
Remember, as US State Department spokesman Ned Price said, China’s aid to Russia will have “tragic consequences” and raise questions from other countries about Beijing’s policy.
