Kaja Kallas, the EU’s head of diplomacy, confirmed that the EU had discussed the news about the capture of Chinese nationals by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. However, she emphasized that this does not mean the Chinese military is directly involved in the war. She pointed out that China could share relevant information regarding the situation.
Kallas also stated that without China’s support, Russia would not be able to conduct the war on such a large scale, noting that 80% of dual-use goods reach Russia through China.
She added that if China truly wanted to stop supporting the war, it would have an impact.

Diversity is a strength if done properly.
Yup, decoupling from china needs to happen in any case.
