BRUSSELS, Feb 23 (Reuters) - NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said on Thursday the alliance had seen signs China was considering supplying arms to Russia and warned Beijing against taking any such step.
The announcement came days after U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken warned China of consequences if it provided material support to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
"We haven't seen any supplies of lethal aid from China to Russia, but we have seen signs that they are considering and may be planning for that," Stoltenberg told Reuters in an interview.

"That's the reason why the United States and other allies have been very clear, warning against that. And China should of course not support Russia's illegal war," he added.
There was no immediate comment from China, but its Foreign Ministry said earlier on Thursday any potential intelligence on arms transfer by China to Russia that the United States plans to release was just speculation.
Russia and China signed a "no limits" partnership last February shortly before Russian forces invaded Ukraine, and their economic links have boomed as Moscow's connections with the West have shrivelled.

China giving arms is basically start of ww3 and if not that is at least a new cold war.
China would be hit with massive sanctions.

they've had an open trade partnership for a year and are only just now getting around to supporting russia?

US has been funneling money and arms to ukraine basically since this began, why is china only just now doing it?

seems to me if they were going to, they would've done so months ago. i'll be shocked if this actually happens.

The west is critical of China over many things that Russia is not. They are also neighbors.
Also China would love to take Taiwan.

I'd imagine it's another step for destabilizing the US and most of Europe.

I'd be more concerned about Mongolia, when Russia and China start making out in public.

Would Russia be happy that they're now a pawn in this Cold War that is effectively currently between the US (and NATO) vs. China?

If Kasparov wasn't run out of the country, Russia would probably be in NATO by now.

Just sanction them and if they start shit, will end them and set their country back to the 18th century or further to make sure they never grow powerful ever again and start doing business with India/Vietnam.

As long as it isn't drones, then meh

China's getting confident that they don't care for our business though. That's interesting
