Xi Jinping says "we would not profiteer" about China not profiting from the Ukraine war

Politico reports that internal shipping records from a Russian firm show China’s state-owned Jilin Chemical Fiber Group sent about 46 tons of carbon-fiber chemicals to a sanctioned Rosatom subsidiary this year, materials tied to explosive drones reportedly used in an August strike on a Ukrainian shopping mall. Ukrainian and Western officials who reviewed the documents called them authentic; Russia denied the claims, and China’s embassy dismissed the evidence as a smear. Beijing has denied sending weapons to Moscow, and President Xi Jinping in 2023 said China would not inflame the fighting or profit from it. The disclosure could lead to U.S. sanctions and lands before President Trump hosts Xi.
