US Warns China Against Arming Russian War Effort

Joan, what did we hear when it comes to what the U.S. says is that they have information that Beijing is considering providing assistance when it comes to Russia's ongoing war in Ukraine? Well, what we know is that the United States has long made it known that it would be strongly opposed to China providing assistance of that sort to Russia in the war in Ukraine. That has been repeated over and over. We have not seen any evidence of China providing arms or any substantial aid to Russia, but obviously the United States and allies would be extremely upset if that happened. It could affect the balance of the fighting there. And so I think, again, Secretary Blinken underlying how strongly Washington feels that that is a red line for it.
