Antony Blinken: China could give Russia arms and ammunition for war in Ukraine
China is considering providing Russia with weapons and ammunition for the war in Ukraine, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said. The official said Chinese companies are already providing "non-lethal support" to Russia, and new information suggests Beijing may provide "lethal support."
This escalation would mean "serious consequences" for China, he warned. China has denied reports that Moscow has requested military equipment. Chinese President Xi Jinping is an ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin and has yet to condemn Russia's invasion, but has sought to remain neutral in the conflict and called for peace.
