Scholz: Russian arms sales will have consequences for China

The supply of arms to Russia would have consequences for China, said German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in an interview with CNN.

Scholz commented on the possibility of imposing sanctions against Beijing in the event of such supplies.

“I think it would have consequences,” he said.

The West is signaling to Beijing that such supplies should not be made, Scholz said. According to the chancellor, he is optimistic and believes that China will hear this request. However, the West still “needs to watch and be very careful.”
