Beijing is “picking a side” and can’t claim to be neutral any more, the US ambassador to NATO tells POLITICO.

China is helping Russia meet its war goals in Ukraine by continuing to sell supplies such as drone technology and gunpowder ingredients to Moscow, the U.S. Ambassador to NATO said in an interview.

“The PRC [People’s Republic of China] cannot claim to be entirely neutral in this case, [and] they are in fact picking a side,” Julianne Smith told POLITICO on Tuesday. “I think when the PRC tries to portray itself as neutral, when it comes to this war, we don’t buy it.”

Smith said the United States was “increasingly seeing materiel support” from China to Russia, adding that this equipment — which can have both civilian and military uses — had played a critical role in helping Moscow achieve some of its aims against Ukraine.

    China isn’t communist. China, Russia, USA et al integrated fascism as their system and now fight each other for power. This is just one alignment

      Who told you that bullshit? If all they were fascists why don’t they just join together into one single super power? Easier than wasting money and people into it.

        Inspect that bullshit a little if you’d like to be more informed. Fascists are always infighting and even any temporary alliances will be betrayed

        The same reason Franco didn’t join in during WWII despite being a fascist.
