Foreign Minister Qin Gang’s comments come a day after a speech by President Xi Jinping accused the U.S. and its allies of suppressing China
China’s foreign minister took aim at the United States on Tuesday, accusing Washington of seeking to contain China and comparing U.S. arms sales to Taiwan with potential Chinese military aid to Russia.
He compared the situation to a race, whereby one athlete focuses on trying to trip the other rather than running faster. “Such competition is a reckless gamble, with the stakes being … the future of humanity,” Mr. Qin added. Asked about the Taiwan situation, Mr. Qin invoked Beijing’s longstanding policy that cross-strait affairs are an internal matter for China, while blaming the U.S. for any potential conflict over the self-ruled democracy. Taipei has steadily built up ties with Washington in the face of growing Chinese aggression, including repeated military drills and aerial patrols around the island.
Mr. Qin said the conflict in Ukraine seems to have been driven by “an invisible hand … using the Ukraine crisis to serve certain geopolitical agendas,” while also promoting China’s recent peace proposal. Some analysts have speculated Beijing may be funnelling aid to Russia through Belarus, where part of the initial invasion of Ukraine was staged. Writing this week, Joe Webster, a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council, said a recent surge in trade between the two countries — including a tripling of exports from Belarus to China — could indicate “Beijing is using Minsk as a cutout to provide economic and potentially even military assistance for Moscow.
