The State Department threatened China with “consequences” if Russia helps to circumvent sanctions

“If the PRC works on the supply of weapons to Russia, if it helps Russia bypass sanctions, then this will be followed by serious consequences not only from our side, but also from our allies,” RIA Novosti quoted Foreign Ministry spokesman Ned Price as saying.

He noted that the United States is closely following China in this regard.

The head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, said earlier that the European Union had warned the Chinese leadership about the consequences if the Chinese authorities supported Russia.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry reminded that Beijing is not a party to the conflict in Ukraine.

On March 31, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova commented on Western attempts to intimidate China.
