Beijing has failed to openly respond to the claims, instead blaming the US of spreading “disinformation” about China’s participation in the Ukraine conflict.
Russia had demanded military supplies and help from its important partner, according to US sources.
According to the New York Times, Moscow also requested economic support from Beijing in order to counter the punishing sanctions placed on it by the majority of the Western world.
According to the allegations, authorities refused to say what Russia had demanded or whether China had answered.
When contacted about the purported demands, a representative for the Chinese embassy in Washington told numerous sites, “I’ve never heard of that.”
Without directly dealing with the US claims, foreign ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian told reporters on Monday that the US has “been spreading falsehoods against China on the Ukraine issue with destructive purposes.”
Beijing has refrained from publicly condemning Moscow for its invasion, instead blaming NATO’s “eastward expansion” for escalating tensions between Russia and Ukraine, repeating the Kremlin’s main security concern.
China had “played a positive role in supporting peace and called for discussions,” according to Zhao.
His remarks came ahead of a high-level US delegation meeting with a key Chinese official in Rome.
“Ongoing efforts to manage the competition between our two countries and discuss ongoing efforts to manage the competition between our two countries,” National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan and Yang Jiechi, the Chinese Communist Party’s chief diplomat, will “discuss ongoing efforts to manage the competition between our two countries and discuss ongoing efforts to manage the competition between our two countries.”
Sullivan went on Sunday talk programs to declare that the White House is “looking intently” to see whether China offers Russia with material or economic assistance to help it avoid the sanctions’ harsh effects.
“We have emphasized to Beijing that we will not stand by and enable any nation to pay Russia for its losses as a result of the economic sanctions,” he said on CNN’s “State of the Union” broadcast.
While Sullivan did not want to “brandish threats” against China, he added, “we are signaling directly, privately to Beijing that large-scale sanctions-evasion attempts will undoubtedly have repercussions.”
Despite international pressures, Beijing stated this week that its bond with Russia is “rock strong.”
