Changes

In July 2025 in a meeting with China's Foreign Minister [[Wang Yi]] Kallas thought it wise to lecture him about [[EU]] [[values]] and [[democracy]]. She opened by demanding of [[China]] to submit to the [[rules based order]] and arrogantly insisted that China condemn [[SMO|Russia's military operation in Ukraine]], cease providing support and use its influence to stop [[Russia]]'s advance westward. Wang Yi replied that China was not helping Russia in the conflict with [[Ukraine]] and that it had no intention whatsoever of interfering in that conflict. Had China done so, said Yi, the conflict would already have been over. However, Mr. Yi also informed Kallas that China had no intention of seeing Russia lose, because China's leadership believes that if Russia was defeated, the "rules based order" would turn on China next.
