Since Russia's attack on Ukraine, China has refused to call it an invasion and said it plans to maintain normal trade with both countries.
Officials from the U.S. and China met on Monday to discuss a range of bilateral issues, including Russia's war with Ukraine. The talks, which were held in Rome, Italy, spanned 7 hours and were described as "The U.S. has warned of consequences for any country that provides Russia with support amid the Kremlin's war with Ukraine.
"We are watching very closely to the extent to which the PRC [People's Republic of China] or any country in the world provides support material, economic, financial, rhetorical otherwise, to this war of choice that President [Vladimir] Putin is waging against the government of Ukraine, against the state of Ukraine and against the people of Ukraine," State Department spokesman Ned Price said at a press briefing on Monday.
"We have been very clear both privately with Beijing and publicly with Beijing that there would be consequences for any such support," Price said. Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said Sunday that the Kremlin was counting on China to help it withstand the fallout from global economic measures imposed against Moscow,In speaking with Spain's Albares, China's Wang reaffirmed Beijing's long-held stance of opposing unilateral sanctions outside of the United Nations.
"China always opposes the use of sanctions to solve problems, and even more opposes unilateral sanctions that have no basis in international law, which will undermine international rules and bring harm to the people's livelihood of all countries," Wang said.
