After wrapping up his two-day visit to China, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken described his meeting with senior Chinese officials, including President Xi Jinping as "candid [and] in-depth" in which they discussed the prospect of stabilizing bilateral ties as well the war in Ukraine. 

Blinken reiterated that the US doesn't support the independence of Taiwan, but also expressed Washington's concerns over Beijing's "provocative" actions in the Taiwan Strait.  

He also added that China had offered assurances that it would not supply Russia with lethal weapons. 

"With regard to assurances on providing lethal assistance to Russia for use in Ukraine, this is not new today, this is something that China has said in recent weeks and has repeatedly said not only to us but to many other countries that raised this concern that they are not [providing] and will not provide lethal assistance to Russia for use in Ukraine," Blinken said. 

He noted, however, that the US is concerned that some private Chinese companies "may be providing assistance, in some cases dual-use, in some cases... directed at enhancing Russia's military capacity in Ukraine."

Blinken added that the United States would welcome China playing a constructive role in the Ukrainian peace effort.
