EU Confirms Conclusive Evidence of Armed Drones for Russia Produced in China's Xinjiang, Discussing at Brussels Meeting

Nov 15, 2024, 03:06 PM

The European Union has obtained conclusive evidence indicating that armed drones are being manufactured for the Russian military in China's western Xinjiang region. This information was confirmed by multiple diplomatic sources and has prompted the EU to demand explanations from Beijing regarding the production activities. While the evidence is described as convincing and credible, it remains uncertain whether the Chinese government authorized the drone production. The issue will be discussed by EU foreign ministers at a meeting scheduled for Monday in Brussels. The EU is particularly focused on determining if the Chinese authorities are aware of these operations, as officials express skepticism about the possibility of such activities occurring without Beijing's knowledge.
