Reuters: US is trying to figure out if its allies are ready to impose sanctions on China

This is reported by Reuters, citing US officials and other sources.

“The United States is notifying nearby allies of the possibility of imposing new sanctions against China if Beijing provides military support to Russia in its war in Ukraine,” the article says.

What kind of possible sanctions may be discussed has not yet been reported.

At the same time, it is noted that consultations are still at a preliminary stage and are conducted primarily with the G7 countries.

Earlier, the head of the US State Department, Anthony Blinken, said that he did not plan to meet with the leaders of the Russian and Chinese Foreign Ministries at the G20.

Also, an adviser to the office of the Ukrainian president, Mikhail Podolyak, threatened China with an aggressive reaction in case of Russian assistance.
