China accuses US of 'fanning the flames' in Ukraine, claims US is 'profiting' from war

China argued the U.S. is guilty of "fanning the flames" of war in Russia's invasion of Ukraine, saying the U.S. defense industry is benefiting from the conflict.

"U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken recently said that China knows that there would be consequences were China to provide lethal assistance to Russia. But he refused to lay out what the consequences would be if China ignored the warning. What’s your comment?" a reporter asked.

"The U.S. is the biggest source of weaponry for the battlefield in Ukraine," Wang responded. "We do not accept the U.S.’s finger-pointing or even coercion targeting China-Russia relations. The U.S. should seriously reflect on what it has done, stop fanning the flames or profiting from it, and stay truly committed to promoting peace talks as China has been doing."
