The U.S. government, while having no “indication” that China has “made a decision” to supply Russia with weapons to use in the war in Ukraine, believes that possibility “remains on the table,” a spokesman said Thursday. of the White House.
“We believe that this decision would not be in China’s interest” and would tarnish “its international reputation,” which it attaches great importance to, John Kirby, the spokesman for the US president’s National Security Council for strategic affairs, said at the press briefing at the White House.
“We have expressed our concern to China,” he reminded.

Beijing strongly denied the US accusations, made in particular by CIA chief William Burns.
