Politico: Germany’s Scholz says China ‘declared it will not deliver’ weapons to Russia
European Commission chief von der Leyen says the EU has seen ‘no evidence’ that China is considering sending arms to Russia.
MESEBERG, Germany — German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Sunday said China had declared it won’t supply Russia with weapons for its war against Ukraine, suggesting that Berlin has received bilateral assurances from Beijing on the issue.
Scholz was speaking at a press conference with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, who told reporters that the EU has received “no evidence” so far from the U.S. that Beijing is considering supplying lethal support to Moscow.
Senior U.S. officials including Secretary of State Antony Blinken have expressed deep concern in recent weeks that China could provide weapons such as kamikaze drones to Russia, which in turn triggered warnings to Beijing from EU politicians. Scholz himself urged Beijing last week to refrain from such actions and instead use its influence to convince Russia to withdraw its troops from Ukraine.

This kind of thing annoys countries. Let them make their own "declarations".
No need to. Russia is in control of the war.
China is so terrified of sanctions that if put on effect on them half of chinas population will die of hunger. Because western investors pay them salary🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😍😍
As I mentioned before China has only one concern - Taiwan.
If it become more than one it will be Hongkong and Taiwan
nothing else.
Given a direct conflict China would give up Island grabbed.
Don't think so.
Too much pride involved. Direct conflict (with US involvement) would probably mean battles in the near South China Sea over the Spratleys and Parcels. I do not think the Chinese would give up/back off easily.
But please feel free to say why you think so. I would be glad to here the reasons the Chinese
"would give up Island grabbed."
Feel free to do not think so. Stick to it
No reply is always an option. But you don't learn much about how the poster came to his conclusions
