China Rejects U.S. Assertion Russia Asked for Military Aid

What’s new: China’s Foreign Ministry rejected reports attributed to the U.S. that Russia asked China for military assistance for its war in Ukraine, calling it “disinformation.”

Zhao Lijian, a spokesperson of China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, accused the U.S. of “maliciously spreading disinformation targeting China” when asked about the reports at a regular press briefing Monday.
