Analysis/ The weapons that China is sending to Russia are 'frightening' the EU and the USA

Claims that China and Russia are increasing cooperation between them has added to the concerns of Western leaders, as they fear the steps that Beijing may take.

As the war in Ukraine is at a critical point, the intense diplomatic maneuvering that China has been conducting recently has seriously alarmed both sides of the Atlantic, for fear of abandoning the stance of neutrality that Beijing had chosen in recent years.

Global anxiety over China's real plans prompted a surprise trip by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko to the Chinese capital, where he was met by his counterpart Xi Jinping.

In this situation, Beijing's refusal to once again judge Russia's invasion of Ukraine in midweek at the G20 Foreign Ministers' Summit came to reinforce Washington's deep-seated suspicions that "something is moving" on the Russian-Chinese border. the fear lies in the supply of weapons.

According to the "Wall Street Journal", at this stage Chinese weapons "could support Russia's war efforts in Ukraine", as any move by Beijing in this direction would be an essential aid to Russian forces. Especially at this point, where both sides seek to open a victory march, creating new data on the battlefield.

In fact, military supplies from China would provide Russia with a strategic advantage, on the one hand "because of the compatibility of Chinese and Russian weapons systems, and on the other hand, because of Beijing's large military". the manufacturing base."

At the same time, the bilateral talks between Biden and Scholz mark, according to some analysts, a first round of negotiations to secure Western security guarantees to Ukraine in order to start the process of negotiations to end the war.

In this perspective, US officials estimate that "China is considering the supply of artillery and drones to the Russian military", as the Russian Armed Forces consume a lot of ammunition on a daily basis and suffer from a shortage of critical equipment. Despite the strong rhetoric, Beijing stubbornly denies any relevant involvement, dropping the ball on the United States as it abandons it for the continued — and provocative — equipment of Ukrainian forces from the Western arsenal. / Wall Street Journal
