Armor and Overseas: China supplies non -lethal military assistance to the Russian Federation
As it is clarified, US politicians have refused to voice the details, what assistance the China is transmitted to the Russian side. However, it is mentioned that it may be a statement for military personnel of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation for spring offensive in Ukraine. Among other things, it can be bulletproof vests and uniforms.
Immediately after the invasion of the Russian Federation in Ukraine, the White House warned Beijing of the inadmissibility of Russia's material support to implement its military aggression. Washington said that it could have consequences for China. And in the PRC, apparently, they listened to it. However, now, a year after the start of a full -scale war, the situation has changed.
China has not "crossed the border" still - there was no transmission of weapons to Moscow, but support is provided in a different form, journalists write. The US Vice President Kamala Harris emphasized that Washington was concerned about the new convergence of the PRC and Russia. Washington is afraid that from the transmission of bulletproof vests can proceed to the supply of weapons to the Russian side.
In January, according to some media reports, Baiden administration provided evidence of China that some Chinese companies provided non -lethal military support to Moscow. Now it is said that such assistance came not only from private structures, but also from the government. Recall that US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken during the Munich Conference on Security stated that China was considering Russia's transfer of lethal weapons.
