Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi privately told EU's Kaja Kallas that China cannot accept a Russian defeat in Ukraine, fearing it would allow the US to focus solely on China. This contradicts China's public stance of neutrality. Wang's comments suggest a preference for a prolonged conflict. While publicly advocating for peace talks, China's actions, including strengthening ties with Russia and alleged provision of drone components, raise questions about its true intentions. Ukraine has presented evidence of Chinese-made drone parts used in Russian attacks.
