"If there is a conflict in Ukraine, it is not going to be good for China either," State Department official says.
The United States has urged China to use its influence with Russia to discourage an invasion of Ukraine. Nuland also said the US is confident Germany will not open the Nord Stream 2 pipeline with Russia if Moscow invades Ukraine. It has faced resistance from the United States and from within the European Union on the grounds that it increases Europe's energy dependence on Russia and denies Ukraine transit fees, at a time of heightened tensions between Moscow and the West.Meanwhile, Washington said German Chancellor Olaf Scholz will meet US President Joe Biden on February 7 at the White House to discuss tensions between Russia and Ukraine.
