America on China: America has expressed concern over the support Russia is getting from China. He believes that Beijing is secretly providing military aid to Russia. According to CNN, US officials are deeply concerned that they have shared intelligence about China with allies and partners at the Munich Security Conference in the past several days.
Officials said Foreign Minister Antony Blinken raised the issue during his meeting with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi on the sidelines of the summit on Saturday. According to a CNN report, a senior State Department official told the media, Secretary Blinken was very clear in warning about the impact and consequences of supporting Russia or helping Russia avoid systematic sanctions.
Kamala Harris mentioned China’s support
At the same time, Vice President Kamala Harris also mentioned China’s support for Russia during her speech in Munich. Harris said the Biden administration has formally concluded that Russia committed “crimes against humanity” and attacks on civilian populations during its nearly year-long invasion of Ukraine.
it will only increase the aggression
Harris said on Saturday that we are also troubled by the fact that since the start of the war, Beijing has deepened its ties with Moscow. Looking ahead, any move by China to provide support to Russia will only increase aggression.
Quietly helping Russia
Officials said that the US is seeing that China is trying to publicly present itself as a proponent of peace. Wang Yi said in Munich on Saturday that Beijing would offer a peace plan to Ukraine and Russia and maintain ties with Europe, while at the same time CNN reported that it was quietly aiding Russia’s war effort.
Wang said in the conference, this war cannot continue. We need to think what efforts we can make to end this war.
