BBC World Service - Weekend, Blinken: China helping fuel Russian threat to Ukraine

US warns China if it doesn't stop providing material support for Russia's invasion.

Antony Blinken has told the BBC Washington is prepared to take steps against China if it continues to supply Russia with items for its war in Ukraine. After talks with Xi Jinping, America's top diplomat said he'd made it clear China was helping fuel the biggest threat to European security since the end of the Cold War.

Also in the programme: Tik Tok's threatened status in America seems emblematic; Hungary opens up to Chinese tech, despite protests; and are Gen Z the most sober generation yet?

Joining presenter Paul Henley are Paolo Gerbaudo, an Italian sociologist; and Dr Ulrike Franke, a senior policy fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations.
