China calls on "certain countries" to stop "fueling the fire,” drawing parallels between Ukraine and Taiwan

Reuters reported the information.

"China is deeply worried that the Ukraine conflict will continue to escalate or even spiral out of control. We urge certain countries to immediately stop fueling the fire, stop shifting the blame to China and stop hyping up ‘today Ukraine, tomorrow Taiwan," Qin Gang added.

He also noted that the country "stands firmly against any form of hegemony, against any foreign interference in China's affairs."

• On February 18, the Wall Street Journal reported that despite the sanctions, Russia continues to import civilian Chinese DJI drones through its distributors and from the Gulf countries.

• And US officials claimed that China could be providing non-lethal military aid to Russia for use in Ukraine, including uniforms and even bulletproof vests. So US Secretary of State Antony Blinken warned Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi that if the country supported Russia's armed aggression, it would have "serious consequences for interstate relations."

• Subsequently, the US warned China against making a decision to provide Russia with lethal military assistance, as this would cross a "red line."

• Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said there was a risk of a world war if China supported Russia in a war with Ukraine.
