China and Ukraine
The U.S. has said it believes that China may be considering providing lethal aid to help Russia in its invasion of Ukraine, prompting a direct warning against doing so from U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken to China’s top diplomat. China, in response, said that U.S. is "not qualified" to issue orders on arms. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that if China sides with Russia in the war, it will bring World War III. How is China helping Russia with non-lethal technologies? What is the likelihood of China providing lethal weapons to Russia and if so, what could be the global impact?
VOA’s Mandarin-language coverage of the war in Ukraine stands apart from Chinese domestic media.
