LONDON/WASHINGTON - The European Union looks set to reinforce the US warning to China that Beijing would face serious consequences if it tried to cushion the blow of sanctions against Russia or provi

de Moscow with military support.

Ambassadors from several major EU countries meeting last week pushed for the bloc to emphasise that the war in Ukraine is potentially a defining moment for the EU-China relationship as well as for Beijing's image as a global power, according to a document seen by Bloomberg. The bloc wants to encourage China to take a responsible stance by highlighting its role in defending a rules-based international system.

While the substance of the EU message is set to be similar to Biden's, most member states want Von der Leyen and Michel to couch it in a way that doesn't come across as a threat because they don't want to alienate Beijing, one of the people said. The EU wants to maintain its own approach to dealing with China rather than simply echoing the line from Washington, another European diplomat said.
