China: "US Talks Peace in Ukraine While Making Lots of Money from the War"

China Criticizes US Support for Ukraine Weapons

[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Chae-eun] China claimed that the United States "has made a lot of money in Ukraine" regarding the U.S. plan to support Ukraine with weapons.

Earlier, on the 20th (local time), the United States approved support for weapons and equipment worth $460 million (approximately 597 billion KRW) for Ukraine.

Wang Wenbin, spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said at a regular briefing on the 21st, "The United States is the largest supplier of weapons on the Ukrainian battlefield," and asked, "What is the intention behind the U.S. constantly spreading false information that China is providing weapons?"

Spokesperson Wang criticized, "The U.S. habitually says it must protect peace, but in reality, it has made money from war," adding, "U.S. military companies have made a lot of money on the Ukrainian battlefield; do they have any conscience?"

He then questioned, "The U.S. pursued a policy in Afghanistan that required fighting until the last Afghan; surely it will not make Ukrainians fight until the last Ukrainian as well?"

Wang stated, "The United States must seriously reflect on its actions and stop pouring oil on the fire and looting in the midst of the flames," and added, "It should focus on genuinely recommending reconciliation and promoting negotiations like China does."
