China asked Russia not to invade Ukraine before the end of the Beijing Olympics on February 20. This was revealed by the New York Times, citing sources from the American administration, according to which the Chinese leaders had a certain level of knowledge of Moscow’s plans or intentions to invade Ukraine. Liu Pengyu, spokesman for the Chinese embassy in Washington, called the revelations “speculation without any basis”.
