Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told the European Union’s top diplomat that Beijing can’t accept Russia losing its war against Ukraine as this could allow the United States to turn its full attention to China,

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi reportedly told EU leaders that Beijing doesn't want Russia to lose its war in Ukraine, fearing the US would then focus entirely on China. This admission surprised EU officials.

The European Union's top diplomat Kaja Kallas told Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi on Wednesday that Beijing needed to rebalance its trade relationship with the EU and warned Chinese companies' support for Russia's war in Ukraine posed a serious threat to European security.
