Blink Warning – US: China Considers Arms Deliveries to Russia

Date:

China is considering supplying weapons to support Russia in its war against Ukraine, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said. Any arms shipment to Moscow would cause “serious problems”, Blinken warned on CBS on Sunday.

“The concern we have now based on the information we have is that they are considering providing lethal support,” Blinken said, referring to China. When asked what such “lethal support” entailed, the foreign minister said “everything from ammunition to the guns themselves.”

Biden has already warned China about arms shipments to Russia
US President Joe Biden warned Chinese President Xi Jinping against arms shipments to Russia last March, Blinken told ABC. Since then, China has been careful not to cross the border, according to US officials.

Blinken met with China’s top foreign politician Wang Yi at the Munich security conference on Saturday. According to his ministry, Blinken warned of “consequences” in case Beijing gives Russia “material support” in the war in Ukraine or helps to evade Western sanctions.

China as Russia’s most important partner
China is Russia’s main remaining partner, which has been largely isolated internationally since its invasion of Ukraine nearly a year ago. Wang announced a Chinese peace initiative in the war in Ukraine this weekend in Munich without giving details. Russia is also likely to receive from North Korea, Iran and its ally Belarus.

Prominent Republican US Senator Lindsey Graham, who was part of the US delegation to the Munich Security Conference, called it a grave mistake by China to arm Russia. He was more sure than ever that Ukraine would come out of the war undefeated, he said. Helping Moscow with weapons now is like buying a ticket to the already sinking Titanic.
