China will give weapons to Russia in Ukraine war?

Mr. Blinken told CBS News that Chinese companies are already supplying Russia with non-lethal weapons. He added that new information suggests that Beijing may now be supplying "lethal" weapons.

He warned that China could suffer "serious consequences" for this. China has denied reports that Moscow is seeking military equipment from them. Chinese President Xi Jinping is an ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin and has so far not condemned Russia's actions in Ukraine. However, he tried to remain neutral in this conflict and called for peace.

Mr. Blinken said these things in an interview with CBS after a meeting with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi at the Munich Security Conference. He said, during this meeting, he expressed deep concern about what is being said that 'China may supply Russia with lethal weapons'.

“So far we have seen Chinese companies supplying Russia with non-lethal equipment for use in Ukraine. But the information we have now shows that China is considering providing lethal weapons, which we are concerned about." He did not elaborate on what information they have about China's possible plans. Asked what kind of equipment China could give Russia, Mr. Blinken said it was mainly weapons and ammunition.

"If China arms Russia, it will create serious problems for us and about us," he said.
