The United States of America has warned China not to give any form of support to Russia which is believed to have asked for military assistance, including drones in the current war between it and Ukraine.
White House National Security Adviser, Jake Sullivan, who responded to the development yesterday, March 13, made it clear that China providing Russia with support is a “concern.”
“We also are watching closely to see the extent to which China actually does provide any form of support, material support or economic support, to Russia. It is a concern of ours.”
Sullivan said that the US has communicated to China, warning that it will not stand by and allow any country to provide support to Russia for its losses from the economic sanctions.
He said that China has been warned that there would be “absolute consequences” for “large-scale” efforts to give Russia a workaround to US sanctions.
“We will not allow that to go forward and allow there to be a lifeline to Russia from these economic sanctions from any country anywhere in the world,” he said.
And for this reason, Sullivan would be meeting with his Chinese counterpart, Yang Jiechi in Rome today, March 14.
