Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin said the United States of America is concerned about Chinese President Xi Jinping’s visit to Moscow. Moreover, it retraces the demonstration of support for Russia against the backdrop of the Ukrainian conflict.
According to Austin, the US administration is monitoring whether the PRC has started supplying arms to the Russian Federation.
“Xi’s trip to Putin and the fact that he spent two days there, I think, sends a very troubling signal, a signal of support. We don’t see any material help from them to Russia at the moment. , but we are following this very, very closely. If they go that route, I think it will be very worrying for the international community, but of course, already showing their support for their presence there, I think it is very disturbing,” Austin explained.
Pentagon Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Milley believes that Russia and China have competing national security interests with the United States. However, in his opinion, war with these countries does not seem inevitable.
