China's foreign ministry said on Friday it is not aware of reports about talks between Russia and a Chinese company for the purchase of drones.
"There has been a large volume, too much disinformation spread about China on this point. We should be vigilant about the intentions behind this," ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin told a news briefing.
"I also want to emphasise that China on the export of military products has always held a cautious and responsible attitude, not selling military products to conflict areas or warring parties."
