Blinken China trip comes as Congress poised to pass bill that would provide funding for Taiwan and also force the Chinese owner of @tiktok_us to divest the video app

@tiktok_us US also wants Europe to step up pressure on China. One US official says in wake of G7 foreign ministers meeting in Capri this week, G7 countries told the US that they have, or would, raise the issue directly with China

@Dimi @SecBlinken @FT Weapons shouldn't be allowed to get to the Russians at this crucial time

@Dimi @SecBlinken @FT Finally. Very good. China is acting like it didn't pick a side in russian war against Ukraine, but it did. It's time we made China to reconsider or bear the consequences.

@Dimi @SecBlinken @FT Push China, and it will actually start sending weapons to Russia, which will be the end of the war.

@Dimi @SecBlinken @FT 😂😂😂

@Dimi @SecBlinken @FT I think USA should start with themselves first, US companies keep trading with Russia as usually, selling them "double use" equipment. Then Germany, which is buying "Kazakhstan" oil, which is just rebranded Russian oil.

@Dimi @SecBlinken @FT Nothing's going to stop China from helping Russia. It is essential for China that Russia's aggression can continue and even escalate

@Dimi @IFacon @SecBlinken @FT Frapper à la bourse 💰

@Dimi @ChristopherJM @SecBlinken @FT Dude, try something a bit stronger than a "warning." Set some limits and boundaries.

@Dimi @SecBlinken @FT Blinky has little leverage. Lol.

@Dimi @SecBlinken @FT Europe should buy same technology and give it to ukrainians. China is not an existential threat to Europe. Russia is

@Dimi @SecBlinken @FT Yawning 🥱 stop warning Beijing. Take actions to stop them.

@Dimi @SecBlinken @FT Is this satire?

@Dimi @SecBlinken @FT What's the carrot?

@Dimi @SecBlinken @FT AKA know as China will do the opposite that he 'tells' them to do...

@Dimi @SecBlinken @FT Better two years late than never I guess

@Dimi @SecBlinken @FT Im curious if the exports are limited to tooling and parts as opposed to complete ordnance.
