It will be recalled that the Wall Street Journal article discussed the increase in exports of microchips, aluminum oxides and other dual-use products that undermined the West’s attempts to stop Russia’s war against Ukraine. Chip shipments from China to Russia in the first five months of 2022 more than doubled from the previous year, reaching nearly $50 million, according to Chinese customs data. Exports of other components, such as printed circuit boards, increased by double-digit percentages. The export of aluminum oxide used in the production of aluminum metal, an important material in the weapons and aviation industries, was 400 times higher than last year.

What does China say?

• Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi had a phone call with Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjártó, who, while maintaining friendly relations with Russia, is trying to pretend like China supports Ukraine’s sovereignty and indivisibility.
• became the subject of conversation The economic and financial problems that have arisen all over the world due to the war called “Ukraine crisis” in the post. It is interesting that the text makes no mention of who is to blame for this crisis.
• Beijing emphasized that it was not included in the list of countries involved in the “Ukraine crisis” and made suggestions to solve the problem of food and energy security. Which are not specified.

China is not a party to the Ukraine crisis, but let alone fueling the fire, we have not been idle and have always persistently and persistently called for peace and supported the negotiations. The lessons learned from the Ukraine crisis are profound and deserve serious scrutiny by all parties. For a long-term perspective, all parties should discuss building a balanced, effective and sustainable European security architecture to ensure lasting peace and security.
