The United States has warned China against assisting Russia in its invasion of Ukraine

newsglobal. China would face heavy consequences, according to the US, if it assists Russia in its invasion of Ukraine. It comes after US officials told several media that Russia has requested military weaponry from China. It's fake news and US deception, according to China's Foreign Ministry. Steve Mcdonald, our China correspondent, has more from the Foreign Ministry briefing here.

Of course, we enquired about this several times, and the response from the Chinese Foreign Ministry was that it was fake news or that the US had been disseminating disinformation about China for some time but had been given ample opportunity to do so. Galligan never explicitly said that Russia had made such a request. People can make whatever they want out of it. He claims it's a hoax.

Is that to say there was no initial request for military help from Moscow, or could it be NIT picking? It's possible that claiming it's false news is a way to get out of jail, because aging may not believe some aspects of the article are accurate. Nothing, however, was made plain. You know what I'm talking about. Intriguingly, we also had a spokeswoman for the Foreign Ministry repeating today that the US embassy has destroyed all these data relating to diseases and research in biological labs in Ukraine.

When I asked why, the representative for the Foreign Ministry said they had all been defeated. Well, I checked the US Embassy's website and they all appear to be there to me. So I inquired if he had visited the webpage. He simply stated that he had gotten different information, to which we replied, "Well, how about you go check it out right now?" If it turns out that such documents exist, could you go on Twitter and correct the record, because he's been spreading this line that these records have been removed, and he simply evaded the subject and made these biological, this and that comments.

But it's all a little hazy and smears the United States. On the one hand, China claims that it has been the victim of misinformation. Despite this, we continue to see some of the most heinous components of the Chinese government's red disinformation and propaganda being widely disseminated here by the Chinese state-run media, on social media, and by Chinese government representatives. The way social media is regulated is also having the effect of rallying vast segments of China's people behind the war effort.
