US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Friday expressed strong concerns about China’s support for Russia’s defense industry and questioned Beijing’s sincerity in seeking peace in Ukraine.
He met Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Friday.
“When Beijing says that, on the one hand, that it wants peace, it wants to see an end to the conflict, but on the other hand is allowing its companies to take actions that are actually helping Putin continue the aggression, that doesn’t add up,” Blinken said at a media briefing.
Beijing said it has not supplied Russia with weapons for use in Ukraine.
Blinken, however, said China has provided about 70% of machine tools and 90% of microelectronics that Moscow needs for military production, including rockets and armored vehicles.
Lol, I’m skeptical in general, but following the drama, I struggle to read these kinds of comments as something other than “Running with our tails in between our legs is dunking, if we say it enough times it’ll be true!” I mean, .world literally has a Zionist bot in media bias fact checker that makes sure to ever so slightly move .world in a more fascist direction every day, .world and it’s sub-instances like .ca have no legs to stand on.
Man lemmy.world is the weirdest I mean they’re pretty pro Palestine in a sense that it’s the consensus that Israel is committing genocide and is an apartheid state, but that not, I just don’t get it.
