Report Indicates Chinese Officials Has Some Knowledge Of Russia's Invasion by Rastafryrice: 8:10am On Mar 03, 2022 |
Senior Chinese officials told their Russian counterparts to delay sending in Vladimir Putin's troops into Ukraine until after the Winter Olympics had finished, an intelligence report has claimed. The New York Times quoted Biden administration officials and a European official who cited a Western intelligence report about the agreement. The Times said the intelligence report indicated senior Chinese officials had some level of knowledge about Russia's plans or intentions to invade Ukraine before Moscow launched the brutal operation last week. A source familiar with the matter confirmed to Reuters that China had made the request but declined to provide details. The source declined to be identified due to the sensitivity of the matter. 'The claims mentioned in the relevant reports are speculations without any basis, and are intended to blame-shift and smear China,' said Liu Pengyu, a spokesman for the Chinese embassy in Washington. The U.S. State Department, the CIA and the White House National Security Council did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Reuters news agency. Senior Chinese officials told senior Russian officials in early February not to invade Ukraine before the end of the Winter Olympics in Beijing, according to intelligence reports.

The intelligence on the exchange between the Chinese and Russian officials was collected by a Western intelligence service and is considered credible by officials reviewing it, the Times reported. Senior officials in the United States and in allied governments passed it around as they discussed when Russian President Vladimir Putin might attack Ukraine but intelligence services had varying interpretations, the Times said, adding that it was not clear how widely the information was shared. One official the Times said was familiar with the intelligence said the material did not necessarily indicate the conversations about an invasion took place at the level of Chinese President Xi Jinping and Putin. While visiting Beijing for the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics in February, Putin signed important agreements with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/winterolympics/article-10571425/Senior-Chinese-officials-told-Putin-DELAY-sending-troops-Winter-Olympics.html |

How could China not be aware? The two powers have always been cooperating in pushing back against the West. |
