"All to the contrary": Blinken told about the impact of war in Ukraine on China - CNN

According to the Republican Senator Josh Houli, Taiwan is more important for the US national interests than Ukraine. Ukraine's international support in the war against the Russian Federation could have influenced China's policy on Taiwan. This was stated by US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken at a press conference at the State Department with the Minister of Defense Lloyd Austin and their Australian colleagues, CNN writes.

Blinken commented on the letter of the Republican Senator Josh Houli, in which he expressed concern for US military supplies to Ukraine. The official fears that because of Ukraine's support, the United States is losing the ability to prevent war in Asia. "Taiwan is more important to the US national interests than Ukraine," Josh Houli said.

In response, Anthony Blinken stated that in Beijing they see the reaction of the international community to the military invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine. According to the State Secretary, the course of the Russian-Ukrainian war should influence China's plans on Taiwan.

"I think, in fact, if everything is accurate, in the sense that China is watching very carefully for what is happening in Ukraine, monitors the reaction of the United States and countries around the world to Russian aggression," Blinken replied to Houli's statements . Recall that the US does not rule out the likelihood of China's military aggression against Taiwan.

US Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman believes that the United States should keep the head of the People's Republic of China, Xi Jinping, from such a step. Focus also reported that the Pentagon does not see the "inevitable signs" of China's invasion of Taiwan. This is stated in the annual report of the US Department of Defense on China's military power.
