China Warns of ‘Unimaginable’ Fallout if Ukraine-Like Crisis Happened in Asia

China’s Vice Foreign Minister Le Yucheng has warned that the Asia-Pacific would suffer from “unimaginable consequences” and be pushed into “an abyss” if a Ukraine-like crisis were to occur in the region.

His comments followed President Xi Jinping’s Friday video call with his U.S. counterpart Joe Biden, during which the two leaders vowed support to a diplomatic settlement to the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
