China jumps to Russia's side and blames the USA for the Ukraine war - also with a view to the Taiwan conflict.

Moscow/Beijing - Zhang Hanhui, the Chinese ambassador in Moscow, has called the United States the "main perpetrator" of the Ukraine war.

He also accused President Joe Biden's administration of wanting to "smash" Russia.

The statements made in an interview with the Russian state agency

represent a new escalation in China's relationship with the United States - China has been adopting a harsher tone since US politician Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan.

Zhang echoed the sentiments of Moscow, claiming that the US had cornered Russia by repeatedly expanding the NATO alliance eastward.

Washington is also trying to tie Ukraine to the West with the help of the EU.

Claims from China: US wants to 'exhaust and destroy' Russia

"As the initiator and main perpetrator of the Ukrainian crisis, Washington continues to supply arms and military equipment to Ukraine while at the same time imposing unprecedented comprehensive sanctions on Russia," the Chinese ambassador said.

The United States' "ultimate goal" is to "exhaust and annihilate Russia with a protracted war and the cudgel of sanctions."

If you look to the east, however, you would observe an excellent relationship between Moscow and Beijing.

Sino-Russian relations have "entered the best phase in history" thanks to mutual trust, a high degree of interaction and joint strategies.

Ukraine war and Taiwan conflict: Russia and China show solidarity

Like Vladimir Putin, who has in the past called Ukraine part of Russia, Chinese politics are building a similar narrative in the face of a looming military standoff with Taiwan.

The People's Republic of China has claimed the self-governing island for itself for decades - Xi Jinping and his Communist Party therefore describe Taiwan as "renegade".

If the US continues to intervene on the Taiwan issue, the US expects "an even greater, more devastating defeat" than in the Ukraine conflict.

China is "on the way to our nation's most important goal: the reunification of the motherland," said Ambassador Zhang in the

interview.

Unsurprisingly, Zhang Hanhui jumped at the opportunity to shoot at Nancy Pelosi due to her visit to the island.

"Non-interference in internal affairs is the most fundamental principle for maintaining peace and stability in our world," said the politician.
