China must be punished if it continues to support Russia, according to Nato’s CEO Jens Stoltenberg, who claimed Beijing is trying to worsen the conflict in Ukraine with its big export push to rebuild Russia’s defense industry.
In an effort to evade sanctions and maintain business flow, Prez Xi Jinping claimed that he has tried to give the impression that he is taking a rear seat in this issue. However, according to Stoltenberg,” China is actually promoting the largest military conflict in Europe since World War II while also pursuing the preservation of good ties with the West.” Beijing” cannot have it both way.” Supporters must eventually demand a price, unless China makes a change of course. There should be implications”, he added.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Stoltenberg both launched criticism of Beijing on Tuesday. In a press conference with the NATO leader, he said,” China’s support for Russia’s army industrial base is prolonging Ukraine conflict and needs to stop.” Russia can depend on China for crucial help to maintain the war system going.
In reaction, Beijing said Nato” may indulge in self- reflection more than random smears and attacks on China””. We advise ( Nato ) to stop shifting blame and sowing discord, not add fuel to the fire and instigate confrontation, but rather do something practical for political settlement, “foreign ministry spokesman Lin Jian said.
Beijing has refuted American states that it is aiding Moscow’s war effort, despite the fact that China and Russia’s corporate relationship has just grown closer since the invasion of Ukraine. And G7 foreign ministers on Friday expressed” strong problem” about the use of Russian arms and dual-use supplies by Chinese companies to Moscow for its military development.
