The West is hardening its stance toward China over its apparent support for Russia's Ukraine invasion.

Beijing’s position said to have intensified largest armed conflict in Europe since second world war and require alliance to ‘impose a cost’.

The head of NATO said China is “trying to get it both ways" by maintaining relationships with both Europe and Russia.

The question wasn’t even directed toward President Joe Biden, but his determination to get in an answer created a revealing moment about the war in Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin’s war machine and deepening US tensions with China.

Russia and North Korea's leaders are expected to demonstrate their deepening military and political relationship, built on cooperation on Russia's war in Ukraine. But experts doubt its sustainability.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said China was providing support that enables "Russia to keep that defense industrial base going, to keep the war machine going, to keep the war going."

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg issued a clear warning to China. In his opinion, if they do not change their stance, they should be held accountable for supporting Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
