US Concerns About China Potentially Providing Lethal Aid to Russia

The US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has warned senior Chinese diplomat Wang Yi of the repercussions that China could face for supporting Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

In an interview following their meeting, Blinken stated that Washington is concerned that Beijing is considering the issue of sending weapons to Moscow. “We are very worried that China is contemplating providing lethal support to Russia in its aggression against Ukraine. I have made it clear that this would have serious consequences for our relations,” he stated, adding that Washington will soon release more details.

The top diplomats of the two superpowers met at an undisclosed location during the global security conference in Munich, according to Reuters. Previously, during his speech at the conference, Wang reiterated the call for dialogue and suggested that European countries should “carefully consider” how to bring an end to the war.
