Blinken says China helping fuel Russian threat to Ukraine | BBC News

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.

Blinken has no right to question china about anything . America is complicit in Genocide and the whole world can see it

[Littletime]

China doesn't need to paint US as hypocrites the US is doing that fine by itself

[fjinnw]

No one can surpass Blinken Hypocrisy, no one.

[BruceBalistreri]

I love how he completely just doesn't answer the opening question.... and the reporter moves right on.

This Guy is an Olympic Bull Shit Artist

[redcardinal]

Maybe the best interview on BBC in 20 years. Asking real questions, what is the world coming to?

[bettertimes]

He calls killing 34, 000 people as "Defense"!!

[azhanali]

90% of the comments are against Blinken. That tells a lot.

[st.wilfred]

But America is supplying weapons not equipment weapons don't you think America is be hypocritical? That question was pure gold 😂

[conradknight]

He should be asking himself why it is Americans are taking these drugs in the first place,

[CNHI]

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.

He said that US recognised One China policy but US supply weapons to Taiwan. What a joke 😅😅😅

[billisenberger]

Did Blinken mention the U.S. helping fuel Israel's threat to the Middle East?

[hewen]

Mr blinken may answer that, since so much drugs are produced in China, why China doesn't have such a problem of drugs as US?

[edwardquaye]

You cant arm Taiwan and at the same time cooperate with china

[rc]

I'm starting to think that China and Russia are the good guy's.

[RNDixit-meuj]

Hypocrisy is our fundamental right- US🇺🇸

[Abdullah]

Feast your eyes people, it’s a human lizard 🦎

[gingerchili]

It is so obvious that Blinken is trying to shift the blame to China for white house's failure😂. As usual, China is always nailed by the west as scapegoat.😅😅😅

[lucid]

Hypocrisy at most high level from USA side ! How he dare to say that ?
