Beijing has rejected what it called "false" claims by the United States that China is considering arming Russia in its war against Ukraine.
"We do not accept the United States pointing the finger at China-Russia relations, let alone exerting coercion and pressure," Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin
said during a
regular briefing, accusing Washington of "spreading false information."
Communist Party of China diplomacy chief Wang Yi has arrived
in Moscow for talks on a possible peace plan for Ukraine
.
Sky News reports it.
Wang Yi traveled to Russia for the meeting yesterday, according to the Russian newspaper Kommersant.
"The main purpose of his trip is to increase Beijing's role" on the Ukrainian issue, writes the newspaper, adding that the talks are "designed to accelerate the resolution of the crisis, which entails growing costs for Beijing in relations with the West". while Western accusations that Beijing may provide military assistance to Moscow remain in the background.
