'China should not get involved in this war in the sense of providing lethal weapons to the Russians,' U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Linda Thomas-Greenfield said, adding that the Biden administration has made clear that such actions would be 'unacceptable.'
WASHINGTON — U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield warned that if China provides lethal aid to Russia, it would be a"game-changer."
President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken have conveyed those warnings to their Chinese counterparts, Thomas-Greenfield said during an exclusive interview set to air Friday on"Andrea Mitchell Reports." Greenfield and others officials are convening at the U.N.
The Biden administration has made clear that such actions would be"unacceptable," said Thomas-Greenfield, who suggested it could adversely affect America's relationship with China. Thomas-Greenfield declined to elaborate on how the U.S. would respond if it learns that China has provided Russia with lethal assistance.
Linda Thomas-Greenfield speaks to the press at the United Nations' headquarters in New York on Feb. 23, 2023.China has shown"complete and total hypocrisy," she said Friday."They talk about peace. They talk about the integrity of borders. They talk about sovereignty. They say they believe in the U.N. Charter. This is an attack on the U.N. Charter, which [shows] China, truly what they are, if they make the unfortunate decision of providing the support to the Russian effort.
