China strongly condemns the UK politician’s vilification of China on Ukraine crisis

Global Times: It’s reported that Secretary of State for Defense Grant Shapps said during a conference in London that the intelligent services from the US and the UK had evidence that lethal aid is now, or will be, flowing from China to Russia for use in the battlefield in Ukraine. On the same day, when asked about Shapps’s remarks, the US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan answered that the US had expressed concerns that China might provide weapons to Russia but hasn’t seen that to date. What’s China’s comment? 

Wang Wenbin: We condemn the UK politician’s groundless and irresponsible vilification of China. We noted the fact those remarks from the UK side were not even seconded by its “close ally.”

Let me be clear, it’s the UK, not China, that has been fanning the flames on Ukraine. It’s reported that two years ago when Russia and Ukraine were close to an agreement to end the conflict, it was the UK, among others, that jumped in the way to stop it and the conflict has continued since. Just as China and the international community work hard to cool down the situation, the UK side once again made irresponsible remarks, which is quite alarming.

What we would like to say to the UK politician is that vilifying China will not get the UK out of its difficult spot on Ukraine, still less solve the UK’s thorny domestic issues. Instead of falsely accusing China, why not take a hard look at what role the UK itself has played on the Ukraine issue?

China has and will remain on the side of peace and dialogue. We will keep working hard to push for peace talks and oppose fanning the flames. Meanwhile, we will defend our legitimate rights and interests.
