The Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi reportedly said the highest diplomat of the European Union on Wednesday that Beijing does not want to see the loss of Russian in Ukraine because he feared that the United States would then move their focus on Beijing.
The statement was contrary to the Beijing public position of neutrality in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
However, sources said South China Morning Post that Wang rejected the claim that China was financially or militarily supported by Russian war efforts – insisting that if it did, the conflict would have ended long ago.
Chinese Wang is said that during a marathon four -hour debate about a wide range of geopolitical and commercial complaints with the Chief of Foreign Affairs Kaja Kallas made comments.
According to the report, the official claimed that Wang’s private remarks indicated that Beijing could prefer a lengthy war in Ukraine that hindered the United States to concentrate on its rivalry with China.
Critics of Chinese policy critics are that Beijing has a geopolitically much more at stake at the Ukrainian conflict than the position of neutrality admitted, CNN said.
Clerk said Southern china Morning post That the four-hour meeting between Wang and Kallas on Wednesday in Brussels “represented hard but respectful stock exchanges, covered a wide range of questions from cyber security, rare countries to non-equilibrium, Taiwan and Middle East”.
