China has strongly denied reports that it is helping Russia produce ballistic missiles. It emphasized that it has never “added fuel to the fire” during the Ukraine war. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun made the statement during a press briefing. He also answered questions about China’s humanitarian assistance amid the conflict.
According to Guo Jiakun, China has maintained a clear position on the Ukraine crisis. He said China does not seek to benefit from the situation. It has never supplied weapons or equipment to Russia. China also does not accept blame for military actions by other countries. The spokesperson stressed that China opposes actions that escalate the conflict or increase human suffering.
China Rejects Allegations of Missile Support
Reports suggesting that China may be supplying technology or equipment for Russia’s ballistic missile program have raised international concern. These long-range missiles have been used in attacks targeting Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, causing power outages, heating problems, and other civilian hardships.

At the press briefing, Guo Jiakun firmly denied these claims, stating that China has never provided military equipment or assistance for missile production. He repeated that China has never tried to profit from the conflict and does not aim to shift responsibility for actions it did not commit.
The statement underlines China’s effort to clarify its role as neutral in the conflict. By rejecting accusations of military involvement, China seeks to highlight its focus on diplomacy and reducing tensions rather than fueling hostilities.
Call for De-escalation and Peace
Guo Jiakun also reiterated China’s call for all parties involved in the conflict to act responsibly and work toward de-escalation. He emphasized the importance of avoiding actions that could expand the battlefield, provoke further violence, or escalate hostilities.
He stressed that following these principles is key to creating conditions for dialogue and a political resolution. Military actions, he said, only increase human suffering and make a peaceful solution harder to achieve. China has consistently promoted negotiation and diplomacy as the most effective way to address international disputes.

In response to questions about aid for Ukraine, Guo Jiakun confirmed that China will continue to play a constructive role in easing the humanitarian situation. While no specific details were shared, he reiterated China’s commitment to reducing human suffering through neutral and non-political assistance.
China has consistently supported humanitarian initiatives that provide food, medical aid, and shelter to affected populations. Guo Jiakun stated that such efforts are focused solely on helping people in need, not advancing political or military agendas.
