China News Service, Beijing, February 21 (Reporter Guo Chaokai and Huang Yuqin) Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Wang Wenbin presided over a regular press conference on the 21st.
A reporter asked: According to reports, US Secretary of State Blinken said recently that China "knows" that it will face consequences if it provides lethal support to Russia.
However, he refused to explain what "consequences" the US will impose if China ignores the warning.
How does China respond to this?
Wang Wenbin: The U.S. is the largest supplier of weapons to the Ukrainian battlefield. Yesterday, the U.S. announced to provide another 500 million U.S. dollars in military aid to Ukraine. Now the U.S. continues to spread false information about China’s supply of weapons. What is its intention?
The United States keeps saying that it wants to maintain peace, but in fact it is making a fortune in war. American military enterprises have made a lot of money from the Ukrainian battlefield. What is their conscience?
The United States once implemented a policy of "fighting to the last Afghan" in Afghanistan. Is it necessary for Ukraine to "fight to the last Ukrainian" today?
Facts have already torn off the mask of the United States as a "defender of peace" and exposed its true colors of "fearing that the world will not be chaotic".
The China-Russia comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination is established on the basis of non-alignment, non-confrontation, and non-targeting of third parties, and is within the sovereignty of two independent countries.
We never accept that the United States dictates China-Russia relations, or even coerces and pressures them.
The U.S. side should seriously reflect on what it has done, stop adding fuel to the flames, taking advantage of the fire, looting, and taking advantage of the opportunity to make profits, and be as committed to promoting peace and talks as the Chinese side.
