German Chancellor Scholz warns China against military support for Russia
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz says he will warn Chinese President Xi Jinping against providing military support for Russia.
He would point out that Russia was waging a war of conquest against Ukraine and insist that no one must help this succeed, Mr Scholz said in Shanghai on Monday.
“That is why we are also calling on everyone not to circumvent sanctions, but that is also why we are calling for no arms deliveries,’’ he added.
This also applies to goods that can be used for both civilian and military purposes, emphasised Mr Scholz.
China is considered Russia’s most important ally and is suspected of supplying such goods.
Mr Scholz will be meeting Mr Xi and Premier Li Qiang in Beijing on Tuesday.
The Russian war against Ukraine is not just a European issue, Mr Scholz said.
“If this sets a precedent, it is a threat to peace and security everywhere on the planet,” he said.
