At a United Nations Security Council meeting on Friday, the United States called on China to stop supporting Russia’s military efforts in Ukraine, accusing Beijing of enabling Moscow’s aggression through the export of dual-use goods.
Acting U.S. Ambassador to the UN, Dorothy Shea, directly urged China to halt shipments of materials that Washington says bolster Russia’s defence industry and facilitate drone and missile attacks on Ukraine. She argued that China’s claims of strict export controls are undermined by the continued discovery of Chinese-made components in Russian weapons and equipment.
In response, China’s Deputy UN Ambassador Geng Shuang dismissed the accusations, asserting that China did not initiate the war, is not involved in the conflict, and has never supplied lethal weapons. He maintained that China closely regulates the export of dual-use items, including drones.
Geng also criticised the U.S. for deflecting responsibility and heightening tensions, urging Washington to take a more constructive role in supporting ceasefire efforts and diplomatic negotiations.
Reuters recently reported that Chinese engines were being discreetly shipped to Russian drone producers under false labels to evade sanctions, adding to U.S. concerns.
“If China truly wants peace, it must stop contributing to Russia’s military capabilities,” Shea concluded.
