BEIJING, April 8. /TASS/. The United States should not discredit or block the normal interstate relationship between Russia and China, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning said at a regular press briefing, commenting on Washington’s allegations that China has been providing military aid to Russia.

"As regards what the United States thinks of the Russia-China relationship or Chinese support, I'd like to emphasize that the country in question should not slander or attack the normal interstate relations between China and Russia," the Chinese diplomat said.

Commenting on a warning of "significant consequences" issued to Chinese lenders by visiting US Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen, Mao cautioned against imposing restrictions on "financial cooperation between China and Russia, as well as the normal cooperation across the board."
