WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. intelligence suggests China is considering providing arms and ammunition to Russia, an involvement in the Kremlin’s war effort that would be a “serious problem,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said.

Blinken said the United States long has been concerned that China would provide weapons to Russia. He pointed to Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s promise to Russian President Vladimir Putin of a partnership with “no limits” when they met just weeks before Putin sent his troops into Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022. Since then, ties between the two countries have only grown stronger.

“We’ve been watching this very, very closely. And, for the most part, China has been engaged in providing rhetorical, political, diplomatic support to Russia, but we have information that gives us concern that they are considering providing lethal support to Russia in the war against Ukraine,” Blinken said in an interview that aired Sunday, a day after his meeting at a security conference in Munich with Wang Yi, the Chinese Communist Party’s most senior foreign policy official.

“It was important for me to share very clearly with Wang Yi that this would be a serious problem,” Blinken said.

4. Read the next paragraph. "It would be a problem if the CCP helped Russia in their slaughter of

Ukrainians.

3. Wang Yi and the Wolf Warrior diplomats of Emperor Xi the Flawless don't care

They are masters of hypocritical posturing, double speak, and belching platitudes while doing exactly what they accuse other of doing.

9. Weapons of War

But, it's OK for the USA to send weapons.

10. Yes, in fact it is neccessary.

Absent NATO support for Ukraine, they would be brutally overrun and absorbed into an Autocratic Russia. Ukrainian identity would disappear.

Sort of like what China's done to Tibet.

11. If Ukraine goes down, all of Europe is under threat.
