China voiced concern over the U.S. decision to send cluster bombs to Ukraine on Monday, saying the "irresponsible" transfer of cluster bombs is likely to cause humanitarian issues. It is necessary to balance humanitarian concerns with legitimate military and security needs, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said during a regular press briefing. She urged relevant parties to exercise restraint regarding the transfer of cluster bombs, and to stop adding fuel to the flames or escalating the conflict.
