Beijing has decided not to supply weapons to Russia for use in the war in Ukraine, the head of the CIA has drawn attention.
Russia’s attack on Ukraine, and especially the failure of the Kremlin’s original plan, has worried Chinese leader Xi Jinping. This was announced on Saturday, December 17, by the head of the CIA, William Burns, in an interview with the American television company PBS.
“I don’t think any other foreign leader has paid more attention to this war and Russia’s poor military record than Xi Jinping when he’s thinking about his own ambitions in Taiwan and elsewhere,” said said Burns.
According to him, it is interesting to observe the reaction of the Chinese leadership to the war in Ukraine, because even a few weeks before the start of a full-scale invasion, Russian President Vladimir Putin met with Xi Jinping at the Beijing Winter Olympics and they announced ” eternal friendship.”
“But it turns out that this partnership has some limitations, not least in terms of President Xi’s reluctance to provide military assistance to Putin, which he requested during the war in Ukraine,” Burns added. .
At the same time, he said that “not for a minute” would he underestimate the commitment of the Russians and Chinese to cooperation between the countries.
He also noted that Xi Jinping expressed his concern about the use of nuclear weapons amid threats from Russia.
It can be recalled that the leader of China, Xi Jinping, has ordered his government to establish closer economic ties with Russia.
