He also said there would be "consequences" if the suggestion is ignored. Scholz’s comments came just two days after he met with President Joe Biden in Washington. They were also preceded by a warning from U.S. officials that China could become more involved in the war by providing guns and ammunition to Moscow. "I think it would have consequences, but we are now in a stage where we are making clear that this should not happen, and I’m relatively optimistic that we will be successful with our request in this case, but we will have to look at (it) and we have to be very, very cautious," Scholz said during an interview that aired Sunday.

It was also given the task of forming a 10-member governing board and appointing a chairman. Its term was to be completed on April 21. However, things seemed to be simple at first.
