According to US media reports, Russia has requested military and economic assistance from China for the ongoing war in Ukraine. There will be consequences.
The New York Times quoted US officials as saying that Russia had requested military equipment and support from its ally China.
According to the New York Times, Russia has also sought financial assistance from China against the sanctions imposed by the Western countries. However, officials declined to give further details.
A spokesman for the Chinese embassy in the United States denied the allegations to Reuters, saying "I have never heard of such a thing."
The spokesman said the situation in Ukraine was "worrying" and that China's current priority was to prevent tensions from escalating.
The statement came just hours after the White House announced that Jack Sullivan, the US National Security Adviser, would meet with Yang Jiechi, a senior Chinese Communist Party official, on Monday.
A spokesman for the US National Security Council said in a statement that the two leaders would discuss issues related to the ongoing rivalry between the United States and China, as well as the impact of the Ukraine war on regional and global security.
It should be noted that China has not yet directly condemned Russia's move to invade Ukraine and has blamed NATO's move to the east for the tension between Russia and Ukraine.
The US National Security Adviser said in an interview on Sunday that the United States had warned China that it would not allow any country to do anything to compensate Russia for the damage caused by economic sanctions. Kind of help.
He said the United States was closely monitoring the situation, whether it was providing military or economic assistance to China or Russia, and that this was a matter of concern to the United States.
Jack Sullivan added that he did not want to threaten economic rival China, but warned through direct talks that helping Russia against economic sanctions would have consequences.
Brent Reynolds, an American journalist, was shot dead and another was injured in what became known as the "Arpin" massacre on Sunday.
A New York Times card was found in the bag of the slain journalist, but the American newspaper later explained that the slain journalist had worked for the New York Times in the past but was not on a newspaper assignment at the time.
