It is a very muted statement, but it may be the beginning of a shift in China away from their tacit support for Russia in Ukraine. If they do, it would not be good news for the Russian leaders.

China doesn't want to lose business.

It all comes down to their economy. Anything that causes their GDP to hurt, hurts the communist system. They could care less about human rights or people being slaughtered.

The Chinese are currently hurting with money problems and energy problems, they just increased oil production funds to a record amount and have increased coal imports.

If they "could care less",,,that implies they do care to some degree.
Most would say they "Couldn't care less"

Be a retard...just don't act like one.

It looks as Xi is finally taking note of the plight and desperation of the "savvy genius."

​

China has warned Russia against threatening to use nuclear weapons in the conflict in Ukraine, in a rare departure from its usual tacit support for Moscow’s positions.​

​

The warning came during talks on Friday between Chinese leader Xi Jinping and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in Beijing, according to Mr. Scholz and the Chinese state news agency Xinhua.​

​

Messrs. Xi and Scholz agreed to oppose the use or threat of use of nuclear weapons, according to Mr. Scholz and a report by Xinhua, which normally echoes Beijing’s official positions.​

​

The international community should “oppose the use of or the threat to use nuclear weapons, advocate that nuclear weapons cannot be used and that nuclear wars must not be fought, and prevent a nuclear crisis in Eurasia,” Mr. Xi said according to Xinhua.​

​

The comment, the first rebuke of its kind attributed to the Chinese leader since Russia invaded Ukraine in February, marks a change in tone for Beijing after the government there said last week that it would deepen its cooperation with Russia at all levels, experts said.​

President Biden warned Russian President Vladimir Putin against using nuclear weapons in Ukraine in a television interview while declining to say what the consequences would be from the United States if he were to do so.​

​

"Don't. Don't. Don't," Biden told 60 Minutes in an interview set to air on Sunday when asked by CBS reporter Scott Pelley what he would say to Putin if the Russian leader was considering a nuclear escalation in Ukraine.​

​

"You will change the face of war unlike anything since World War II," Biden said.​

If Poootin does use...even tactical nukes... in Ukraine...Russian can expect a response from NATO that would end Poootin's Regime.

All he has is Saber rattling using nukes. His army is weakened and would not last two weeks against NATO forces.
