WASHINGTON, 03 July 2022, (TON): A senior US official said “the United States has not seen China evade sanctions or provide military equipment to Russia.”
He added that enforcement measures taken earlier in the week targeted certain Chinese companies, not the government.
The Commerce Department added five companies in China to a trade blacklist for allegedly supporting Russia’s military and defense industrial base as Moscow carries out its war in Ukraine.
US officials have warned of consequences, including sanctions, should China offer material support for Russia’s war effort, but have consistently said “they have yet to detect overt Chinese military and economic backing of Moscow.”
A senior Biden administration official told “China is not providing material support. This is normal course-of-business enforcement action against entities that have been backfilling for Russia.”
