Stoltenberg (NATO): China should face consequences for its support of Russia
China should face consequences for its continued support of Russia amidst the ongoing war with Ukraine, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said on June 17.
Although China officially maintains a neutral stance on Russia’s full-scale war in Ukraine and denies providing lethal aid, Beijing and Moscow continue to strengthen their ties. This was underscored by Putin’s visit to Chinese President Xi Jinping in May.
“Beijing cannot have both,” Stoltenberg said. “At some point – unless China changes course – allies must make it pay. There must be consequences.”
“The threats are not regional. China is fomenting the biggest armed conflict in Europe since World War II, and at the same time, it wants to maintain good relations with the West.”
NOT an ONION article — NATO blames CHINA for the war in Ukraine — another Babylon Bee headline writes itself!!
NATO is beside itself that Russian military technology is superior to theirs. It must be because those sneaky Chinese are giving them all the super high tech stuff!
