| Once-Hesitant China Lends Full Support to Russian Invasion of Ukraine as Anniversary Nears |
| 2024-02-03 |
| [Breitbart] Defense Minister Dong Jun of China reportedly declared that Beijing would “not change or abandon [its] established policy” in support of the Russian invasion of Ukraine this week – a full-throated endorsement presenting a shift from the Communist Party’s prior attempts to remain “neutral” in the conflict. The Russian state outlet RT reported that Dong made the remark during a meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Shoigu on Wednesday. Dong’s meeting with Shoigu marked his debut on the international stage, as communist dictator Xi Jinping appointed him to the position of defense minister on December 29. His predecessor, Li Shangfu, disappeared without explanation in August and subsequently lost his position in October, leaving China with no defense minister for two months. Li’s whereabouts, or why he disappeared, remain a mystery at press time. Dong used his first prominent appearance as defense minister to endorse the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which approaches its second anniversary in late February. |

| #1 But the Chinese won't have to worry about American sanctions, will they? No, they get a pass. |
