Wang Yi, China’s foreign minister, has condemned the recent NATO’s accusations that Beijing is aiding Russia in its conflict with Ukraine.

Wang berated the claims as “groundless” and warned the Western alliance against provoking further confrontation.

The remarks came after NATO leaders convened in Washington DC and issued a declaration criticising China’s role in the war. 

The organisation accused Beijing of being a “decisive enabler” of Russia through significant support for Russia’s defence industry.

NATO leaders urged China to halt all material and political support to Russia, including the provision of dual-use items—materials that can serve both civilian and military purposes.

The US estimates that approximately 70% of machine tools and 90% of microelectronics imported by Russia are sourced from China.

Additionally, Beijing was accused of engaging in “malicious cyber and hybrid activities” and spreading disinformation against NATO states.

In his conversation with the Dutch foreign minister, Caspar Veldkamp, Wang reiterated that China “absolutely does not accept” these accusations and insisted that China has “always been a force for peace and stability."

Wang stressed that "China’s different political system and values should not be used by NATO to incite confrontation."

He maintained that China remains a neutral party in the Ukraine conflict despite accusations of military support.
