my british manager, welcome to the dublin news asia dead. you could join us. china stopped diplomat. one year was headed to moscow on monday. a day after receiving a warning from the us against arming russia. you are a secretary of state antony blinking, and one ye met on the sidelines of the munich security conference in germany. in later interviews, blinker revealed that the us had information that china was planning to provide lethal support to russia in its war in ukraine was you and that such support would carry consequences for b ging ship. i think we also had an opportunity to talk about the russian aggression against ukraine. we're here in munich, and many of the countries here focused as we are on that aggression. and one of the

things that i shared with him was a growing concern on our part. the china is considering providing legal support to russia and it's aggression against ukraine. and i made clear as president biden has almost from day one with president she that, that would have serious consequences in our own relationship. and beijing has responded by using the us of spreading false information and caution date on finger pointing on china, russia relations. but let's get more context on this from alyssia, but who's gosh, she's a policy fellow at the europe in council on foreign relations, and johnson from war. so, let the secretary blink and has won, won ye that china army, russia will have serious consequences. what kinds of consequences i'll be looking at? well 1st the whole chinese denying all these activations, currency one, we are trying to talk this one that is on this charm offensive, aimed at restoring relation for european capital. especially with don't having very

close economic and political type was aging. so in the context of china and russia relations sign a trying to create this image of it. so kind of this time think it felt from russia . however, at the level of actual bilateral relations, we're not seeing anything like that, but we still don't have any kind of tangible evidence of not actually helping russia in terms of actual military power played god. god bless that. we're seeing this power play between beijing and washington with accusations coming from both sides, but in the context of why you visit. this is a very august charm offensive. as an, as times convent, european china can play a responsible role allegedly responsible role on the international arena. but the,

the chinese, the trying to build it does not have to translate into europe buying this kind of right. it's very, very difficult to try not given the scale and so by no russian operation. i do want to talk to you about the charm offensive with europe and the populate that you're talking about. but 1st, let's just try and zoom for a moment that what's active? lincoln is saying china support a plan to arm russia is potentially true. and if this were, i need to ask you about the timing of it because russia began to face backing field reversals last year in october itself. why his china waited so long to decide to arm russia? well, it also also, it depends on what we actually the find chinese support. so there are many different forms of aids that china content potentially over russia. economic age

is one dimension, and we're seeing biological traits or boosting years. but for example, when it comes to more strategic health, for example, in terms of new technology or semiconductors that russia is in very, very desperate need of we're actually seeing a lot of biological st also in this kind of from cronan. but they are not having edge, but we have many vacations here. i'm a fairly high quippman that could be potentially up to are used to russia. but we don't know what russia is doing with this kind of micro, i'm china. right? why is it in china of interests to help russia? what does china again, from this, from the james perspective, the current war in ukraine is not a war of aggression, russia bar of especially against ukraine. but it is rather

a proxy war between us lead international or there. and they are again, power such as russia or china. so in this context, reaching shared the very similar view of the world and of the, the know that should be governing this international order. and it's trying to rhetoric lead support russia in terms of competing these norms and values that are promoted by, by the us. so in this world, there is no room for ukraine being and actually a sovereign state with its own consideration, its own agency or interest. it is rather that finance russia trying to spread back against what they see the hatch money us let international order, which does not work in favor office. predict. how do you, how do china is purported plans to arm russia square with one ye telling the munich

security conference over the weekend that a chinese piece plan was in the works? i mean, he's china no longer neutral. what is china saying here? well, as a matter of fact, china's position on this work hasn't change at all in the very beginning of the invasion. so what we've heard this weekend in munich is a recycling certain ideas that were put on the table already in march last year with she's proposing this action plan peacefully, quote unquote piece will the result, the ukraine crisis. and this time will try nice. putting on the table is actually not a piece plan. but according to the chinese read out, this is china, prohibition on the political settlement of the ukraine crisis. so look at the worthy, there's not russia invasion, if not russia war against the crane is the ring, cried,

and it's try not provision on the political settlement. so here, old, like the framing, the way china is presenting solution. it all implies that there will be some concession, the words russia. this is basically employing the language feminine to propose a settlement that is not necessarily taking into account ukraine and what's the majority of your country. thank you. it's ration also in munich while he was at pains to point out that the initiative lay with europe to try and stop the warfare and to use its strategic autonomy in the process. what was one you trying to do here? china has been for many years trying to exploit the concepts off your piano economy . but the way raging understand this concept is very failure. so for china, the most important part of european strategic on me is enough hands to spend

your as a confidence on the us and we're waging the strategic goal here is to prevent a more unified bronze. these of the growing china from, from realizing from developing on the international arena. so chinese trying to buy the latch between europe and the us also in the context of the world by trying to appeal to some of your in having those, especially those watch, rather keen on the notion of you're ready to go talk to me for example, paris in this attempt to, to drive a wedge between, between europe and the us, european pause themselves, united when it comes to relations with china. to a certain extent. yes. so on the macro level, we are seeing a shift, the words being china as more of a strategy, why goal rather than talk rather than

a partner can only reach. but on the other hand, we still see many divisions on the continent. for example, now, eastern europe, especially in both states or in poland, were being moved towards being china as an enable russia, which changes the calculation. but on the other hand, we have germany. we have, we have actually passed the comic interest having a very different view on nation. we live there for the time being. well, thank you so much for breaking that down for us elisia who's got from the european council on foreign relations. thank you very much. thank you. ah, the number of countries are supporting ukraine not just with weapons, but also training for its soldiers. also on that list is cambodia. more than 7000 kilometers away from ukrainian battlefields. cambodia is providing valuable de

mining training to ukrainian troops. it comes after keyboarding prime, mr. hunton offered the help to ukrainian president, volunteered zalinski, in a telephone conversation in november. my advice i see needed tinker is being taught how to carry out a controlling explosion. yet he is part of a team of 15 ukrainian soldiers who are in cambodia for a week to be trained in d mining techniques. voice lori helpful training. it was so interesting for us because because if sir grown penetration, rob darcy, alice, it's maria, it's very important or how to know how to provide the mining how to operate. and it will be very helpful for a clean our territory from russian mines. the, our loaner from the expert cambodia is one of the most minor affected countries in

the world. after decades of what an internal conflict that ended in 1998. there are still up to 6000000 unexploded devices lifting the country. organizations like the cambodian mind action center are working to clear them. now a country faced with an ongoing conflict is benefiting from that expertise since russia and we, the ukraine. last february, the country have been working on getting thousands of mines left across its territory. but the training had in cambodia is only the 1st step. but bologna, nicky, but we will send our experts to pull into train ukrainians using the same equipment and a p a but will train them according to the situation in europe. because now we're only training them here in cambodia either the monmouth e, the situation, there's different companies. so that's why we'll continue this training in europe where that can apply the equipment at technology to a real situation in the clunky fall mahatma exec collaboration
