Secretary of State Antony Blinken said from the Munich Security Conference that the Chinese – who a year ago declared their friendship with Russia has "no limits'' – are pondering expanding their backing of Moscow, which so far has not included weapons.
"The concern that we have now is based on information we have that they're considering providing lethal support,'' Blinken told CBS's "Face the Nation'' in an interview that aired Sunday, "and we've made very clear to them that that would cause a serious problem for us and in our relationship.''

That’s cute.. usa treating China and Russia lol like we’d do anything with biden in office. Even we living here are laughing along with China and russia
Please whoever is doing subtitles we do not necessarily need verbatim with every uh, um, that’s not necessary. Everyone has speech pauses. My golly leave them out please! Otherwise excellent job!
Actually I’ve heard lots of people speak without so many ums etc. It’s a sign of confidence when not stuttering through the whole thing. This just makes us look very weak and pathetic but that’s apparently that’s the norm now.
I’m curious, are the consequences going to be the same as when we told Russia not to intervein in the Donbas region? Their economy is doing better than ours. Russian debt to GDP is 26% ours is 100%. 2 months ago it was 126%
United States of America is in no position to dictate to any body much less when it comes to independence and sovereign nation
Huh? Didn’t they had the same reaction about USA to Ukraine 😂
Yes … I wanna lol hearing this news 😂😂😂
If US can support Ukraine they can support Russia.
But we can send billions of dollars and weapons to ukraine..smh
Yeah, let’s pick a fight with two nuclear armed superpowers. What could go wrong?
We and countless countries can provide Ukraine with weapons but countries can’t provide Russia any weapons?
Make it make sense
The US has been supplying Taiwan with weapons, despite numerous warnings from China. So why can’t China respond by helping Russia.
We did this to ourselves
Because when other countries do what America does by habit America treats them like they’ve done the unthinkable
there’s a difference in offering defense versus helping an invader
@Druncle Cookie Yes u are right, China is helping Russia from NATO
Tell them if they give us any trouble we won’t pay back their loans and confiscate all their U.S. land holdings.
There will be no consequences. These same clowns have made us a laughingstock and out military more focused on paying for transition surgery than being prepared to fight the two other strongest countries on the planet.
We’re literally giving guns, tanks, and ammunition to Ukraine….. and we’re going to get mad at another country for giving Russia the same ? 🤷🏻♂️
Yeah, sure, consequences. They’ll write a “strongly worded letter” and want a piece of the action, specifically the profits.
Yes, let’s threaten a superpower. That worked out so well last year.
Got to love the hypocrisy of the US
U.S talking about “consequences if China assist Russia” as the US sends millions of dollars & Abrams tanks to Ukraine to assist is pretty funny
Yeah, Blinken is as threatening as my grandma when she gets mad at a game show.
Empty promises from a spineless and illegitimate regime.
What a joke! US warns China…. 😂
If I understand this correctly nato can send weapons to Ukraine 😂but how dare china or any country send to Russia 😂😂😂what a funny world we live in
