The Spin

Anti-China narrative

The evidence clearly shows China's systematic support for Russia's war machine through the deliberate supply of critical military components, chemicals, and electronics that directly enable Russian drone production and weapons manufacturing. China has used deceptive practices including shell companies, false labeling, and intermediaries to circumvent sanctions, and the presence of Chinese soldiers further demonstrates Beijing's direct involvement in the conflict despite claims of neutrality.

Pro-China narrative

China maintains strict neutrality in the Ukraine conflict and has never provided lethal weapons to either side, with rigorous controls on dual-use items that could have military applications. The Ukrainian allegations represent baseless accusations and political manipulation designed to damage China's reputation as a peace-seeking nation. China's position remains consistent in promoting dialogue, ceasefire, and peaceful resolution to end the hostilities between Russia and Ukraine.
