“If the United States does not hit the brakes but continues to speed down the wrong path, no amount of guardrails can prevent derailing and there will surely be conflict and confrontation,” China's foreign minister warned.
Qin Gang, the foreign minister, said at a Tuesday news conference, “If the United States does not hit the brakes but continues to speed down the wrong path, no amount of guardrails can prevent derailing and there will surely be conflict and confrontation,” according to the Wall Street Journal.“Who will bear the consequences? Such competition is a reckless gamble,” Qin, who was named to his current position late last year after serving as China’s ambassador to the United States, added.
U.S. leaders have revealed that they have intelligence to indicate Beijing is considering providing Moscow with lethal aid for the war, while U.S. leaders have warned that doing so would elicit a significant response. China has helped Russia circumvent Western sanctions and has provided them with non-lethal aid.
Qin compared China potentially providing weapons to Russia with the U.S.'s decision to arm and aid Taiwan, the island nation that is self-governed despite Beijing's claim that it's a territorial part of China. While the U.S. doesn't recognize Taiwan diplomatically, the U.S. has consistently provided Taiwan with weapons to defend itself in the event of a China invasion.
A day earlier, Chinese leader Xi Jinping gave a rare direct rebuke of the U.S., saying, “Western countries — led by the U.S. — have implemented all-round containment, encirclement, and suppression against us, bringing unprecedentedly severe challenges to our country’s development."
