convenience, not necessarily affection. the big question is whether the chinese are still pushing the idea of providing lethal assistance. this is how kirby framed things today. >> we still don't believe china has taken it off the table, we haven't seen any indication that they're moving in that direction or they've made a decision or are going to do that. we continue to believe it's not in china's best interest to do that, to help putin slaughter innocent ukrainians. >> reporter: jake, one of the big questions is what will come from a tangible policy basis. u.s. officials don't really have a great idea. as mathew noted, they're also urging the chinese to reach out and range a call between president xi and president zelenskyy, something that hasn't happened yet. they're saying that needs to happen in order for xi to play any type of peacemaker role, if you will. when i asked john kirby whether
