russia ukraine war china, Russia China Ukraine War: Putin-Jinping’s friendship made Biden sleepless! China may give weapons to Russia against Ukraine US Foreign Minister Antony Blinken warns

Antony Blinken has warned that China’s continued “pernicious support” of Russia in its war against Ukraine will have “serious consequences” for bilateral relations with the United States. He also condemned the incident of spy balloons allegedly sent by China to the US and said that ‘this should never happen again’. According to the US State Department, Blinken and Wang Yi, the senior-most foreign policy official of the Chinese Communist Party, held talks in Munich on Saturday for about an hour. The ministry said that both the leaders had gone there to participate in the International Security Conference.

The spy balloon should not come again!

The top diplomats of the two countries met face-to-face for the first time since a Chinese spy balloon was shot down over the US border about two weeks ago. Blinken said in an interview with ‘CBS News’, ‘I made it clear to him that sending a spy balloon from China to US territory is a violation of our sovereignty, international law and it should not happen again.’

Blinken’s visit to China was postponed

His spokesman Ned Price said Blinken also told the Chinese diplomat that his country’s “spy balloon program has been exposed to the world, which has penetrated five continents and nearly 40 countries.” Because of the balloon incident, Blinken had to postpone the Beijing trip. He was scheduled to visit China on February 5 and 6, and if he had done so, he would have been the first US Secretary of State to visit China in five years.

America worried about Russia’s help

Blinken also raised the issue of the Russia-Ukraine war with Wang at the meeting on Saturday. Blinken said, ‘There is concern about China’s malign support for Russia in the Ukraine war. I am sharing with them, because President Joe Biden shared it with President Xi Jinping that this could have serious implications for our relationship. The US Secretary of State underlined the importance of always being open to diplomatic communication and dialogue. The two leaders are likely to meet again at the G-20 foreign ministers’ meeting in New Delhi next month.
