EU chief warns China of 'reputational damage' if it backs Russia's war

The EU's top officials warned China's leaders at a summit Friday not to help Russia wage war on Ukraine or sidestep Western sanctions, European Commission head Ursula von der Leyen said, according to AFP.

"It would lead to a major reputational damage for China here in Europe," Von der Leyen said after the video talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
