German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock told the Chinese delegation at the Munich Security Conference last week that they are “responsible for world peace” and that Beijing must “not supply Russia with any weapons,” she said on Monday.  

“I made it clear that China in particular, as a member of the Security Council, is responsible for world peace in the situation we are currently experiencing with the Russian war of aggression, which is also a breach of international law,” Baerbock said Monday after an EU meeting in Brussels. 

“This also means that China must not supply Russia with any weapons, including dual-use goods,” she added. 

On Sunday, the US Secretary of State Antony Blinken told CBS' "Face the Nation" program that the US is concerned that China is considering providing “lethal support” to Russia’s war in Ukraine. 

Blinken met with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Saturday in the first face-to-face meeting between senior US and Chinese officials since Blinken postponed his trip to China earlier this month. 

While Blinken and Wang’s talks centered on the balloon saga, a senior State Department official told reporters Blinken was “quite blunt in warning about the implications and consequences of China providing material support to Russia or assisting Russia with systematic sanctions evasion” during his meeting with China’s top diplomat. 

Some background: As CNN previously reported, the Biden administration last month raised concerns with China about evidence it has suggesting that Chinese companies have sold non-lethal equipment to Russia for use in Ukraine, in an effort to ascertain how much Beijing knows about the transactions, according to two US officials.

That equipment has included items like flak jackets and helmets, multiple sources familiar with US and European intelligence told CNN. But China has stopped short of the more robust military assistance, like lethal weapons systems for use on the battlefield in Ukraine, that Russia has requested because it has not wanted to be seen as a pariah on the world stage, officials said.
