Blinken questions China peace push in Ukraine, says Beijing's exports fuel Russia's 'war machine'

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken expressed doubts Friday about China's efforts to pursue a peace deal in Ukraine, saying that Beijing's exports to Russia were fuelling Moscow's "war machine". China and Brazil have been trying to rally the world's emerging powers on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York to support a "comprehensive and lasting settlement" through negotiations between Moscow and Kyiv.
