BEIJING (AFP): Beijing's defence minister told his US counterpart Wednesday (April 20) not to "use the Ukraine issue to smear, frame, threaten or pressure China", following criticism of its perceived backing of Russia's invasion.

Minister of Defence Wei Fenghe's (pic) comments came days after a senior US senator said China must pay a greater price for backing Moscow.
