US EditionChina denies helping Russia produce Oreshnik missiles
- On Jan. 29, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun denied allegations that Beijing helped expand Oreshnik ballistic missile production, saying the stance is `consistent and clear` and it rejects 'blame-shifting'.
- The Telegraph reported a Chinese-made CNC/carousel lathe was identified at Russia's Votkinsk Machine Building Plant, tracing at least $10.3 billion in Chinese equipment exports linked to Russia's military industry.
- The Oreshnik is an intermediate-range hypersonic ballistic missile reaching 13,000 kilometers per hour; Moscow has deployed it twice, in Dnipro and Lviv, with Ukraine's Foreign Intelligence Service reporting limited stocks and 2026 production plans.
- China warned Ukraine against sanctioning Chinese companies and said it would protect legitimate interests if targeted, while Guo urged `no expansion of the battlefield, no escalation of fighting and no provocation by any party`.
- Amid wider scrutiny, Beijing is described as a key ally that helped Moscow weather Western sanctions and become a leading source of dual-use goods for Russia's defence industry, yet it maintains neutrality and denies providing military assistance.
