These officials did not specify the exact nature of the assistance requested or whether China responded.
Beijing responded angrily to this information on Monday, although it did not specifically deny it. Chinese diplomat Zhao Lijian told reporters: “Recently, the United States has been spreading false news against China.

“Baria”
Since the start of the Russian invasion on February 24, the Chinese Communist regime has supported its alliance with Moscow and has not called on Russian President Vladimir Putin to withdraw its troops from Ukraine. If it aids Russia, “China will expose itself to significant sanctions.
