In a meeting with Wang Yi on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York, Blinken said that about 70 percent of the equipment that Russia imports and 90 percent of the microelectronics comes from China and Hong Kong.

According to him, this significantly helps Moscow to produce missiles, shells, armored vehicles and ammunition, necessary for the continuation of the war in Ukraine.

So when Beijing says that, on the one hand, it wants peace, it wants to end the conflict, and on the other hand, it allows its companies to take actions that actually help Putin continue his aggression, it doesn’t add up

Wang Yi stated that his country’s position on the war in Ukraine has always emphasized the need to achieve peace through negotiations.

“The United States should stop slandering and planting evidence against China, imposing sanctions indiscriminately, and using this (conflict – ed.)… to create and encourage confrontation between different camps,” Wang Yi said.
