US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has warned Washington will act if China does not stop supplying Russia with items used in its assault on Ukraine.

Speaking to the BBC in Beijing, the US's top diplomat said he had made clear to his counterparts they were "helping fuel the biggest threat" to European security since the Cold War.

He did not say what measures the US was prepared to take.

But Mr Blinken was also keen to stress progress had been made in some areas, which included Beijing’s efforts in stopping supplies of the drug fentanyl reaching the US.

    90% of the comments are against Blinken. That tells a lot.
  • @CNHI1987
    China and Russia are normal trading countries, China is not a party to the war between Russia and Ukraine, and China has not sent any weapons to Russia. On the contrary, at the beginning of World War II, when Japan invaded China, the United States sold a lot of machinery, equipment and materials used in the manufacture of weapons to Japan. You're the ones who are shameless.

    You cant arm Taiwan and at the same time cooperate with china
  • How can something be called a 'One China Policy' if its purpose is to make Taiwan an independent state?
  • Did Blinken mention the U.S. helping fuel Israel's threat to the Middle East?
