The United States has warned China that it is willing to send weapons to Russia to aid in its invasion.
As WW3 fears grow, Beijing has been warned that it will face isolation and penalties if it assists Moscow.
It followed a meeting in Rome between US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan and Chinese diplomat Yang Jiechi.
Washington informed NATO allies and several Asian countries that China has indicated a willingness to provide military and economic support to Russia, but the plans are expected to be denied.
“It’s real, it’s consequential, and it’s really alarming,” one US official said.
“We have deep concerns about China’s alignment with Russia at this time,” the White House said, adding that “the national security adviser was direct about those concerns and the potential implications and consequences of certain actions.”
Chinese companies that defy US export restrictions to Russia may be denied access to American equipment and software needed to manufacture their products, according to US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo last week.
Yang, on the other hand, stated that China was committed to resolving the conflict, adding that “China firmly opposes any words and deeds that spread false information and distort and smear China’s position.”
According to Ryan Hass of the Brookings Institution, Chinese support for Russia “would significantly narrow its path to maintaining non-hostile relations with the United States and the West.”
It comes after Russia reportedly asked China for assistance with its invasion of Ukraine last month.

‘DIFFICULT TALKS’
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that “difficult talks” with Russia are ongoing.
“Difficult negotiations continue. Everyone is waiting for word. “We will report on the outcome this evening,” he said in a video message.
After an attack on an apartment building in Kyiv’s Obolon district, one person was killed and six others were injured.
“Rescuers who arrived on the scene discovered that a fire had broken out in two apartments on the third and fourth floors of a 5-story residential building as a result of enemy shelling between residential five- and 10-story buildings,” rescue services said.
Meanwhile, Nato has gathered 30,000 troops and 50 warships near Russia’s border for military drills, risking Mad Vlad’s wrath.
The drill, dubbed Cold Response, began today in Norway, amid rising tensions between Russia and the West over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The exercise includes 30,000 troops from more than 25 European and North American countries, 200 aircraft, and 50 vessels.
The largest Nato exercise, which is taking place just a few miles from Russia’s border, was planned long before Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine, but its significance has now been increased.
“This exercise is critical for Norway’s and its allies’ security. We will simulate allied reinforcement of Norway “Odd Roger Enoksen, Norwegian Defence Minister
“It is not being held because of Russia’s government’s attack on Ukraine, but given the context, it has heightened significance.”
The drill’s goal is to test how Norway and Alliance members would collaborate on land, in the air, and at sea in accordance with NATO’s charter’s Article 5, which requires member states to come to the aid of another member state under attack.
“I find it completely normal, perhaps more than ever, to train together to demonstrate our capacity and willingness to defend our values and way of life,” General Yngve Odlo, head of Norway’s Joint Headquarters and in charge of Cold Response, said.
DEFENDING VALUES
The Norwegian armed forces stated that they provided detailed information to the Russians, including the Russian Ministry of Defense, claiming that this was critical in avoiding misunderstandings and unnecessary conflict.
Russia has refused to participate in the exercise, which is held every two years and is scheduled to end on April 1.
Even though it was planned months ago, it is certain to enrage the Russian dictator, who may be suffering from “roid rage” as a result of cancer treatment.Western spies believe Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine was influenced by his physical health, as he appears “ashen and bloated” in recent Kremlin photographs.
‘ROID RAGE’ SPECULATION
They believe he has cancer or is suffering from a brain condition such as Parkinson’s disease or a more general form of dementia.
Another theory is that he has “roid rage” as a result of his long-term use of steroids.
Steroids have been linked to an increased risk of infection, which may explain his paranoia about catching Covid.
