China Signals to EU That It Will Not Allow Russia to Collapse in Ukraine War, Raising Concerns in Brussels
In light of recent diplomatic developments across European and international circles, the role of China in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict has become a topic of intense scrutiny. According to unofficial sources, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi conveyed a highly concerning message during a closed and tense four-hour meeting with European Union chief diplomat Kadri Simson. He explicitly stated that Beijing cannot permit Russia to suffer defeat in its war against Ukraine. This statement raises significant concern in Brussels, as it subtly hints at Beijing’s willingness to support Moscow, despite China’s official denials of direct involvement. Close sources involved in the negotiations report that Wang Yi explained his position by fearing that a Russian victory could drastically shift the geopolitical balance Worldwide and prompt the United States to focus entirely on China. These remarks fuel suspicions that China may have broader strategic intentions regarding the Euro-Atlantic region and Ukraine. At the same time, Wang Yi categorically denied any financial or military support to Moscow, emphasizing that if China were truly aiding Russia, the conflict would have ended long ago. Sources say that during an extended and tense four-hour discussion, Wang repeatedly delivered what some describe as 'historical lectures' to Simson, attempting to persuade her of his perspectives and emphasizing the complexity and tension inherent in diplomatic relations among the involved parties.
