China will not stop supporting Russia on the Ukrainian issue despite US pressure.
This statement was made by Chinese Defence Minister Dong Jun. The defence minister made the statement during talks with Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu. Dong Jun noted that Russia's support is felt in all key aspects of China's foreign policy, and especially in the Taiwan issue.
The minister reminded that China, like Russia, is always in the crosshairs of the US, which is trying to maintain its hegemony in the world. Nevertheless, world history has repeatedly proved that hegemonism sooner or later inevitably fails.
According to the head of China's defence ministry, Russia and China have a huge joint responsibility of big powers. This strategic interaction should become a pillar and guarantee of maintaining world peace, the Chinese Defence Minister summed up. The talks were held via videoconference at the initiative of the Chinese side.
