The Chinese Communist Party would continue to support Vladimir Putin’s regime in Russia in the event that it used tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine, according to former Assistant Secretary of Defense Graham Allison.
“The answer is yes,” Allison said when asked if China would continue its support of Russia regardless of escalations by Putin.
