The U.S. State Department believes that the participation of the Chinese delegation in the Global Peace Summit in Switzerland would be useful, but ending China's support for the Russian military would be even more helpful.
State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller said this at a briefing in Washington on Thursday, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.
"We certainly would encourage China to participate in that summit. They have attended previous versions of the summit. We thought that their presence was helpful. We think their presence would be helpful here," Miller said.
At the same time, he expressed the position that the Chinese side could take other steps that would be even more helpful. Miller specified that this would be cracking down on the Chinese companies that continue to help reconstitute Russia's defense industrial base.
China officially announced last week that it would not participate in the Global Peace Summit in Switzerland.
