In recent days, there has been more information that China is thinking about supplying Russia with lethal weapons. If Beijing decides to take this step, the situation will become very tense.
About thisChannel 24political scientist Taras Zagorodny told. According to him, now it is clearly seen that a certain axis is being built between Russia, Iran and China. There are doubts that the Shahed-136 kamikaze drones may not be Iranian at all. It is possible that China could help certain components.
What are the possible consequences of the transfer of Chinese weapons to Russia
According to Zagorodny, China is much better it would be better to go to develop Russia and not come into conflict with the United States.
But I'm seeing a big wobble now that I don't know where it might go. Will China become a victim of its own propaganda, will they have enough fuses not to transfer weapons. Because the appearance of Chinese weapons on the territory of Ukraine is already close to the Third World War. Because there will be more or less equivalent blocs of states. For power – no, but for the population – yes, – said Zagorodny.
Of course, in response, the West will impose sanctions against China. There is a fairly powerful stock market and a lot of “fast” money that can quickly leave the country. And it will be a blow to Beijing. Whether it is worth risking one's economic position to supply, for example, loitering ammunition to Russia is a dubious idea.
Despite this, if China becomes a victim of propaganda, then there may even be such inadequate steps. According to Zagorodniy, the West in this case will be able to drastically reduce relations with China. But for this it is necessary to establish production facilities in Europe or cooperate with other countries such as India or Vietnam.
China's “peace initiatives”: how the world reacted
- < li>China has published its document on the settlement of the war in Ukraine. During his press conference, Volodymyr Zelenskyy appreciated this “plan”. He noted that he partly agrees with him. There are items that you can work with. But he does not consider this a peace plan.
- NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said at a press conference that China is not trustworthy. After all, China has not even condemned Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
- Washington is closely following China's role in the war. Especially against the background of recent reports that Beijing may provide military assistance to Russia.
