<h1>Chinese Foreign Minister admits Beijing doesn't want Russia to lose Ukraine war to keep US focus divided</h1> A Chinese Foreign Minister reportedly told EU leaders that Beijing does not want Russia to lose the Ukraine war because the US would then shift its complete focus toward China. This candid admission surprised EU officials during talks. The Minister denied China materially supports Russia's war effort but suggested the conflict's prolongation may serve Beijing's strategic interests by keeping US attention divided. The statement came during discussions about EU sanctions on Chinese banks for violating Russia sanctions and trade disputes over rare earth exports. The three-year conflict remains a major friction point between China and the EU bloc.
