China’s Foreign Ministry: Never Provided Lethal Weapons to Either Russia or Ukraine

Mao Ning, the spokesperson for China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, hosted a regular press conference on May 27. A journalist inquired about the statement from the Director of Ukraine’s Foreign Intelligence Service, who claimed that China is supplying a series of crucial products to 20 Russian military factories, including special chemicals, gunpowder, and components specifically for the defense industry. What is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ response to this claim?
Mao Ning emphasized that China’s stance on the Ukraine issue has always been consistent and clear, actively committed to ceasing hostilities and promoting dialogue.
“China has never provided lethal weapons to any party in the conflict, and strictly controls items that could be used for both civilian and military purposes. Ukraine is well aware of this, and China strongly opposes baseless accusations and political manipulation.”
