Blinken highlights China's interest in Ukraine conflict.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has warned that Russia's invasion of Ukraine has a "profound impact" on Asia, with China watching "very carefully" how the world responds to the conflict. Blinken said that if Russia was allowed to attack its neighbour with impunity, it would "open a Pandora's box" for would-be aggressors and lead to a "world of conflict". Blinken also agreed with the CIA's assessment that China would have the ability to invade Taiwan by 2027 and warned that China is considering Russian requests for weapons to fight in Ukraine.
