Stoltenberg made a harsh statement about China’s role in the war

He believes that the West should not put up with China’s position.

China is only pretending to be a neutral party in the war against Ukraine; in fact, it is fueling the conflict. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg stated this during a visit to Washington.

According to ntv , before a meeting with American President Joe Biden, he called for increasing arms supplies to Ukraine and ensuring reliable and long-term support for Ukrainians. “It may seem paradoxical, but the path to peace lies through increasing the number of weapons for Ukraine,” he said.

Stoltenberg believes that the People’s Republic of China is pretending to be neutral in an attempt to avoid sanctions and maintain trade. According to him, the West should not put up with this.

“The reality is that China is fueling the largest armed conflict in Europe since the Second World War and at the same time wants to maintain good relations with the West,” the secretary general explained.

China’s position on the war: latest news

Beijing has consistently said it favors a peaceful resolution to the war and does not provide lethal weapons or equipment to either side in the conflict. At the same time, the United States of America has already accused China of providing assistance that allows Moscow to fight.

China advocated stopping the supply of weapons “to the battlefield,” as this “will only increase the risk of worsening the crisis,” and holding negotiations.

In addition, Beijing refused to participate in the “Global Peace Summit” held in Switzerland. According to media reports, China tried to influence other countries that were invited to this meeting.
