US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is set to visit China from April 24 to 26, where he plans to issue a stern warning to Chinese officials regarding potential sanctions on Chinese entities. This information comes from sources cited by Financial Times.
The warning will focus on the need for China to prevent the export of military and dual-use technologies to Russia in order to avoid sanctions. This message is said to be the strongest ever delivered by US authorities directly to Chinese officials, as reported by one source.
Furthermore, discussions on ending cooperation with Russia in the military sector will be on the agenda with Chinese representatives and other members of the “Big Seven,” according to FT sources.
If China does not alter its position on collaboration with Russia, the US is prepared to impose sanctions on Chinese financial institutions and other companies, as revealed by informed sources.
US Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell has highlighted China’s role in undermining European security by supplying dual-use technologies to Russia while seeking closer ties with Europe. He emphasized the impossibility of achieving both goals simultaneously and urged China to carefully consider its future actions.
Recent reports have indicated that China has provided Russia with various technologies and materials, including satellite images, microelectronics, and tank components. This cooperation extends to the space sector as well.
