Question: On 22 May, UK Defence Secretary Grant Shapps said that China was providing or preparing to provide Russia with "lethal aid". What is your comment? Embassy Spokesperson: The relevant remarks by the UK politician is totally groundless. On the Ukraine issue, China’s position has been just and objective. We have worked actively to promote peace talks and facilitate a political settlement. We follow a prudent and responsible approach to arms export, and oversee the export of dual-use items in accordance with laws and regulations. We urge the UK to stop its baseless accusations against China, stop fanning the flame on the Ukraine issue, seriously reflect on its role in international peace and security issues, and truly do something in the interest of world peace and justice.
