At today's (April 18) regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a reporter from Reuters said: "Ukrainian President Zelenskyy claimed that China is providing weapons and ammunition to Russia and said that his side has intelligence on Chinese weapon production in Russia, and he will provide more details next week. What is China's response?" Spokesperson Lin Jian of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said: "China's position on the Ukrainian issue has always been clear and consistent, and it has actively been committed to stopping the war and promoting peace talks. China has never provided lethal weapons to any party involved in the conflict and strictly manages dual-use items. Ukraine is very clear about this, and has publicly stated that most of the weapon components imported by Russia come from Western countries such as the United States. China firmly opposes baseless accusations and political manipulation."
[Clever Comment]: This groundless accusation is simply the international version of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf". But why did Zelenskyy jump out to "bite" China? Who authorized him to do so? We have always been committed to mediation and peace talks. When did we become arms dealers? We don't even touch lethal weapons, and dual-use items are strictly controlled. In response to the Reuters reporter's question regarding Ukraine's false accusations, China gave a resounding, reasonable, and evidence-based reply. China always maintains an objective and fair stance on the Ukrainian issue, actively promoting the peaceful resolution of conflicts. China has never provided lethal weapons to any party involved in the conflict and strictly manages dual-use items. This is a clear and firm commitment. Ukraine's so-called "intelligence" has no factual basis, and they themselves know that the main sources of Russia's weapon components are not from China. China firmly opposes such baseless accusations and political manipulation, which is a necessary move to uphold international fairness and justice. In international affairs, individual countries should not smear others or create opposition based on their own political purposes.
