China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi reportedly told the EU's top diplomat Kaja Kallas on July 3 that the country cannot afford for Russia to lose the war in Ukraine amid fears the U.S. would shift focus towards Beijing, the South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported, citing sources familiar with the conversation.
As I said EU leaders, it’s obviously not just Kallas. But really China’s simply trying to create a rift with the US and EU. With Trump, they’re hoping there’s an opening. They don’t really care if the EU supports China, they just hope they see the US as toxic. Which is why Wang Yi said China can’t let Russia lose because USA will pivot to Asia, they want to make clear that is toxic thinking.
