Germany's top diplomat, Alexander Graf Lambsdorff, criticized China's support for Russia in the Ukraine war, highlighting China's supply of dual-use goods to Russia and its significant purchase of Russian oil and gas. This, he argued, contradicts China's stated principles and undermines European and Indo-Pacific security. Lambsdorff also noted North Korea's provision of ammunition to Russia, likely with China's tacit approval, further destabilizing the region. He warned of China's escalating threats in the Taiwan Strait and South China Sea, emphasizing the importance of upholding the UN Charter's prohibition of violence.
