US Imposes Sanctions on Chinese, Hong Kong Entities for Supporting Russia's Defense Industrial Base

The United States imposed sanctions on over a dozen Chinese and Hong Kong entities for their support of Russia's war in Ukraine. The US Treasury Department and State Department announced nearly 300 new sanctions, targeting producers and exporters of items critical to Russia's defense-industrial base. These include infrared detectors, components for Russian drones, pressure sensors used in Russian missiles, and precursor materials used in explosives. The Biden administration has expressed concern over China's support for Russia's military industrial base and its biological and chemical weapons programs.

The US officials have warned China to crack down on the provision of dual-use items to Russia that are being used to strengthen its military in the war against Ukraine. Despite these warnings, there is little sign that Beijing intends to heed the US concerns.

The sanctions come after repeated warnings from top US officials, including Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who have urged Chinese officials to take action against China's support for Russia's defense industrial base. The Biden administration has sought to rally allies to pressure Beijing diplomatically or through punitive measures if that fails.

The US sanctions also hit targets in Azerbaijan, Belgium, Slovakia, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates. These sanctions aim to crack down on sanctions evasion and support for Russia's military-industrial base and its biological and chemical weapons programs.

Russia has increasingly rebuilt its defense capabilities since the war in Ukraine began. The US has sounded the alarm about China's support for Russia's defense industrial base, which is allowing Moscow to continue its war against Ukraine. The top US diplomat, Antony Blinken, said following a day of meetings in Beijing that he was extremely clear about the US concerns regarding China's support for Russia's defense industrial base but would have to see what actions follow from that.
