Chinese Foreign minister Qin Gang on Tuesday dismisses warnings from Western countries that China may supply arms to Russia, saying that it would not accept "blame-shifting, sanctions, suppression and threats" targeting Beijing and China-Russia relationship is "not a threat to any country".

Qin also reiterates that China will "maintain the option of taking all necessary actions" to reclaim Taiwan, and the Sino-US relationship needs to be based on mutual interests rather than "US domestic politics and hysterical neo-McCarthyism".
