China’s communist regime is tacitly supporting Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and violating the spirit of the U.N. charter, according to U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

“First, there is the rhetorical support, or at least the absence of clear rhetorical denunciation by China of what Russia is doing,” Blinken said during a March 15 interview on CNN. “And this flies in the face of everything that China purports to stand for, including the basic principles of the U.N. Charter, including the basic principle of respect for sovereignty of nations.”
