TEHRAN- Beijings recent peace strategy to end the Ukraine war has seen the U.S.

ramping up stress with China.For more than a week now, U.S.

authorities have actually been declaring China is considering sending lethal weapons to Russia.The most direct warning to date has originated from U.S.

Secretary of State Anthony Blinken throughout a news conference in Astana, following conferences with Kazakh Foreign Minister Mukhtar Tileuberdi and President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev.

We did extremely clearly caution China about the ramifications and repercussions of going through with supplying such support, he said.U.S.

National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan has actually also alerted that there would be genuine costs for China if the nation went forward with supplying deadly weapons to Russia.Washington declares it has intelligence that China is thinking about sending deadly arms to Russia.But critics argue it may resemble the exact same intelligence that the U.S.

used to get into Iraq in March 2003.

China cant have it both ways when it pertains to ...

(the Ukraine war).

It cant be putting forward peace proposals on the one hand, while really feeding the flames of the fire that Russia has actually started with the other hand, Blinken stated in Kazakhstan.

We will not think twice, for example, to target Chinese business or individuals that breach our sanctions, or otherwise taken part in supporting the Russian war effort, he added.Washington has actually just recently blacklisted numerous Chinese companies for apparently supplying non-lethal assistance to Russia.Beijing has actually strongly knocked the punitive procedures.

The Chinese foreign ministry said it will take undaunted countermeasures in action to U.S.

sanctions against Chinese companies.

We deplore and decline the relocation, Chinas foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning told a press briefing.Washingtons strategy which has neither basis in worldwide law nor permission from the UN Security Council, is a typical practice of long-arm jurisdiction, significantly violating Chinas interests, Mao said.She pointed out that China has actually been maintaining its neutrality on the Ukraine conflict, actively pushing for tranquil dialogue and political option, while the U.S.

has actually been sustaining the war by putting more than $32 billion of military aid into the battlefield.Last week, Beijing required peace talks, launching a 12-point paper to end the war.

It included respect for all nations territorial sovereignty.

In action to the incorrect actions of the U.S.

in sanctioning Chinese companies, we will resolutely counter them ...

it is as plain as daylight who is promoting peace and who is putting fuel into the fire, Mao said.She gotten in touch with the U.S.

to stop spreading out disinformation, drop its sanctions on Chinese companies and embark on a path to assist relieve the stress.

China will continue to take necessary measures to securely protect the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese business, she noted.Beijing has likewise advised the U.S.

to assess itself and stop spreading out incorrect details about the war.Further public claims by Washington and its NATO allies that China is considering providing lethal devices, consisting of drones, to Russia comes at a time when the U.S.

is sending out an extra $1.2 billion in monetary help to Ukraine.U.S.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen ended up being the current senior Western official to check out the Ukrainian capital Kyiv, promising assistance and more measures to separate Russia after conferences with the Ukrainian President and other officials.Yellen, flanked by sandbags in true Hollywood style as some explained, announced the transfer of the very first $1.25 billion from the latest, $9.9 billion tranche of economic and budget help from Washington.As is the norm now, when U.S.

officials satisfy their counterparts in Kyiv, air raid sirens go off in the Ukrainian capital and as typical, these end up being false alarms.The increasing tensions in between the U.S.

and China likewise come in the middle of criticism over making use of the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) to advance political agendas against foes, rather than a worldwide mechanism to resolve international human rights issues.In a dig at the U.S.

and some of its Western allies, China said it opposes specific nations moves to politicize, weaponize and instrumentalize human rights problems.

The 52nd session of the UNHRC this week saw a heavy focus on Ukraine with various countries exchanging allegations.

Mao said the U.S.

is in no position to point fingers at China-Russia relations.

We do decline browbeating or pressure from the U.S.

? Mao also slammed Washington for not just putting lethal weapons into the battleground in Ukraine however likewise offering more advanced weapons to the Taiwan region in violation of the three China-U.S.

joint communiqués.

Exactly what is the U.S.

up to? The world should have to understand the answer.

As Washington attempts to ditch the Chinese peace plan to end the Ukraine crisis, the paradox is the position of Kyiv itself.Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated his nation needed to deal with China, arguing it appears to me that there is respect for our territorial integrity, security concerns in the Chinese 12-point paper to end the war.This is while the Russian foreign ministry has thanked the Chinese proposition but stated that any settlement of the conflict required to recognize Russias concerns consisting of Ukraine avoiding signing up with the U.S.-led NATO military alliance.Iran has actually supported the Chinese initiative, stating it prepares for peace talks between the warring sides.This is, in essence, the only service to the conflict.The imposition of sanctions and Western profiteering from sending arms have stopped working to end the war; rather, they have backfired on Europeans who have actually seen record inflation and following demonstrations across the continent.Meanwhile, the Kremlin has struck out at the European Union after the bloc embraced its newest plan of sanctions against Russia.

All this, of course, is absurd, Kremlin representative Dmitry Peskov informed reporters in reaction to a question about the 10th round of EU sanctions aimed at undercutting Russias finances.Peskov stated Western federal governments are having a hard time to discover more individuals and entities to sanction.

That explains the illogical listing of individuals and entities, Peskov mentioned.

We are speaking about such accomplished people and for them, inclusion in the lists will not trigger any pain, he added.Peskov also alerted that NATO as a single bloc is no longer Russias conditional challenger but its enemy.As stress continue to escalate with a major potential knock-on effect on international peace and security, some sides are promoting peace talks while others are fueling the flames of war with the relatively continuous deliveries of arms.
