In a recent statement that has raised eyebrows across the international community, a representative from China’s Ministry of Defense reportedly declared Beijing’s readiness to intervene militarily should the United States or NATO launch an attack on Russia. This is reported by Newsbytes and Times Now.
A representative of China’s Ministry Of Defense on Saturday allegedly said that Beijing is ‘ready to intervene’ if the United
States or NATO decide to attack Russia, a Telegram channel – WW3.INFO Battlefield Research – reported. This comes as the
intergovernmental military alliance and Moscow are at odds since Sweden officially joined NATO earlier this month.
The statement from the Chinese defense representative, as quoted by the Telegram channel, WW3.INFO, was unequivocal:
“China is ready to intervene militarily anywhere if the US or NATO decide to attack Russia.” Efforts to confirm the authenticity of this claim with the department are currently underway.
This development comes in the wake of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s stark warning to NATO and Western countries. Putin cautioned that Moscow was prepared for nuclear war should the US deploy troops to Ukraine. The Russian leader’s comments were made in the lead-up to the March 15-17 election, anticipated to extend his tenure by another six years.
Putin sought to downplay the immediacy of a nuclear conflict, suggesting that, aside from US President Joe Biden, there are numerous experts in Russian-American relations and strategic restraint. “So I don’t think that everything is going to go head-on here, but we are ready for it,” Putin remarked.
The Telegram channel quotes a Chinese defense representative as saying: “China is ready to intervene militarily anywhere if the US or NATO decide to attack Russia.”
Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier this week warned the NATO and the West that Moscow was ready for nuclear war if
the US sent troops to Ukraine. The Kremlin leader was speaking ahead of the March 15-17 election, which is
expected to give him another six years in power.
Putin said that a nuclear war scenario was not ‘rushing’ up. “Apart from (US President Joe) Biden, there are enough other
experts in the sphere of Russian-American relations and strategic restraint. So I don’t think that everything is going to
go head-on here, but we are ready for it,” he said. Meanwhile, NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg called on allies to
urgently send more ammunition to Ukraine. His message came as the US Congress continues to argue whether to send
billions of dollars in aid to Kiev.
“The US, Canada and Europe have to do more, and we need a long-term commitment to enable the Ukrainians also to plan,”
Stoltenberg said at a press conference.
