When asked about China's view on claims that customs data reflects a substantial increase in China's exports of electronic game machines and manipulators to Russia, and that these manipulators may be used to control drones, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said on Thursday that China's position on the Ukraine issue has always been clear. China has always been actively committed to halting the fighting and promoting peace and negotiation. China has never provided lethal weapons to any party in the conflict and has strictly controlled dual-use items.

Lin emphasized that any normal foreign cooperation will be used to make an issue of China if someone has the intention to discredit China. China firmly opposes unfounded accusations and political maneuvering with ill intent. 

When asked about if China is considering restricting exports of relevant game components, Lin suggests to check with the Chinese authorities for the specifics of the matter.
