In recent developments, Nato Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg has called on China to face consequences for its support of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. According to multiple sources, China is providing Russia with crucial technologies that enable it to build missiles and weapons used against Ukraine. These technologies include micro-electronics and satellite capabilities, which are essential for Russia's military efforts in the conflict.
Stoltenberg stated that Beijing cannot have good relations with both the West and Russia at the same time, as China's support for Russia is fueling the largest armed conflict in Europe since World War II. The US has also raised concerns with China about providing military components to Russia, indicating a deeper involvement than previously thought.
Furthermore, there are concerns that Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran may be forming an anti-US front as Putin prepares for a trip to North Korea.

State Department spokesman Matthew Miller stated that North Korea had unlawfully transferred dozens of ballistic missiles and over 11,000 containers of munitions to aid Russia's war effort.
The US is monitoring Putin's trip to North Korea closely, as there are concerns that there could be reciprocity between Russia and North Korea which could affect security on the Korean Peninsula.

Deception
(30%)
The article contains selective reporting and emotional manipulation. The author focuses on the alleged support of China and North Korea for Russia's war in Ukraine without providing any context or mentioning other countries that are also providing military aid to Russia, such as India or Belarus. This creates a false impression that only these two countries are involved in supporting Russia's war efforts. Additionally, the author uses emotional language to describe China and North Korea as 'enemies' and 'tyrannical states', which is intended to manipulate the reader's emotions against these countries.
But the reality is that China’s fueling the largest armed conflict in Europe since World War II.
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.
