The Pentagon is watching closely for any signal that China’s communist regime has decided to provide Russia with lethal aid for its attempted conquest of Ukraine.

Department of Defense Press Secretary Brig. Gen. Patrick Ryder said the Pentagon had not yet witnessed the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) follow through on provision of lethal aid to Russia, but that CCP leadership was still considering it.
