Blinken states that China’s military assistance to Russia has not been significant.

“Right now, we don’t see them crossing that line,” Blinken said in response to questions from a Senate committee about China’s behavior.

“I think their (China’s) diplomatic support, their political support and certain material support for Russia is not in line with our desire to end this war,” Blinken said.

The US has previously expressed concern that China may begin supplying Russia with ammunition and weapons.

During Xi’s visit to Moscow, the issue of arms deliveries was not publicly discussed or commented on.

Asked by Sen. Lindsey Graham whether the U.S. would seek the arrest of Russian President Vladimir Putin under an International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant, Blinken said the State Department would call on other countries that recognize the ICC’s jurisdiction to honor their commitments.
