The Biden administration has recently raised concerns with China about evidence it has suggesting that Chinese companies have sold non-lethal equipment to Russia for use in Ukraine

, in an effort to ascertain how much Beijing knows about the transactions, according to two US officials. That equipment includes items like flak jackets and helmets, multiple sources familiar with US and European intelligence told CNN, but stops short of the more robust military assistance that Russia has requested. The equipment transfers are “concerning,” one of the US officials said, but at this stage, it’s not clear to Washington whether the central government is aware of it.

Dating back to the very early days of the war, top aides to President Joe Biden have issued warnings to China of the potential consequences should China choose to support Russia in the conflict. Such direct material aid from the Chinese government would also represent an apparent deepening of China’s self-proclaimed partnership with Moscow, which up until now has appeared carefully calibrated. China and Russia publicly declared a “friendship without limits” at the outset of the conflict.

It may not be apparent at first, but Ukraine is a proxy war between US and China. China will back Russia all the way no matter what. It does not matter what China says in public, full backing for Russia in this war is not negotiable, and it is a no-brainer 🤷‍♀️

Not American but pretty impressed with your Biden guy, ballsy to set up a two front war with Russia and China (and not expect Iran and North Korea to start some side quests). Go ☢️ big Joe 🤣 you won't be here for the fallout ...

So? The US has given something like 100 billion dollars worth of extremely lethal equipment for use in Ukraine.

China owns the American economy. What are your plans over this matter? Nothing. 🙄 POTUS

Didn't China just lend you money?

I wouldn't put it past them

And? NATO has been giving Ukraine hundreds of billions, including tanks, armored vehicles, drones, missile systems, ammo, etc etc etc.

Non-lethal equipment? Like a washing machine? Karaoke system? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

And so what?

Spear VS shield!Murder VS saving life!

Those dirty little politicians… we’re getting tired of all this.

The civilized countries like US, EU, Japan etc. should sanction the Chinese government and companies.

So what 😂do you think they care what Biden thinks or wants 😂😂😂😂🤟✌️

Well they are non-lethal who cares

As opposed to the lethal weapons the US is handing over to Ukraine…🤔

Quit all trade with them like TRUMP WOULD

How about US ?

Was there any doubt

But what about all his Chinese pals

Hasn’t US already sanctioned those companies? They are free to do whatever they like to survive now.

It's obvious their using North Korea as a proxy to send weapons to Russia and in return N.K. is receiving tactical nuclear weapons.
