If the People's Republic of China does not begin to take steps to resolve issues related to support for Russia, the United States will. This was stated by United States Secretary of State Anthony Blinken after talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
"During our discussions today, I made it clear that if China doesn't solve this problem, we will," said Blinken.
According to him, China will not succeed in establishing relations with Europe if it continues to support Russia.
Blinken clarified that ensuring transatlantic security is one of the most important interests of the United States.
For his part, the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, Wang Wenbin, said that NATO bears direct responsibility for the war in Ukraine.
"The alliance should reflect on its role, stop shifting blame and effectively take practical steps to resolve the crisis politically," Wenbin said.
It should be noted that Anthony Blinken has been on an official visit to China since April 24.
Experts are convinced that the current activity of the United States in the Chinese direction and, in particular, Anthony Blinken's visit to the People's Republic of China are far from accidental, precisely "here and now" in the context of a full-scale Russian-Ukrainian war.
It will be recalled that the report of the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) dated April 18 stated that the Russian defense industry uses spare parts for its Su aircraft manufactured in the United States and Japan. They are delivered from China, Turkey, Hong Kong and Hungary through intermediary companies.
On April 3, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that the military support of the Russian Federation by North Korea and Iran entails "serious consequences for global security that NATO cannot ignore."
