SCHOLZ WARNS CHINA – Meanwhile, Olaf Scholz issued a warning to Beijing in an interview with CNN: there will be "consequences" if China were to send arms to Russia . However, the German chancellor said he was quite optimistic about the fact that Beijing would refrain from doing so: «I think it would have consequences, but we are now in a phase where we are making it clear that this must not happen and I am relatively optimistic that we will be successful with our request, but we will have to verify.
