Official Washington is preparing new sanctions against Chinese organizations that support Russia's war in Ukraine. This time, the banks of the People's Republic of China may be under attack.
Points of attention
- Jake Sullivan reminded of the need to block China's aid to the Russian defense industry, announcing the possibility of introducing additional sanctions.
- The statements of the American adviser are the latest warning to China before possible decisive actions by the United States.
- NATO leaders consider China a "decisive factor" in the war, which emphasizes the seriousness of the situation and the need for additional measures.
States are determined to take decisive action to contain China
US national security adviser Jake Sullivan made a statement on this matter.
According to him, official Beijing should finally stop, because what it is doing now has gone far beyond the bounds of decent behavior of nation states.
You can expect additional sanctions as we watch this picture continue to develop in the coming weeks,” he stressed.
Jake Sullivan also recalled President Joe Biden's executive order, which allows the US Treasury Department to pursue banks that facilitate the production of dual-purpose goods to aid the Russian defense industry.
We've put it in place so that when we find a bank that we think is under the sanctions regime, we can do something about it. I don't have any predictions today, but I'll just tell you that over time we've put the tools together to be able to respond to that behavior. And we will respond to such behavior.

This was the last US warning to China
According to American analysts, Sullivan's statements are the latest warning that Joe Biden's team is considering additional measures to punish Chinese firms that help Russia's defense and industrial base.
According to the White House, the Chinese government does not provide direct lethal support to Russia, but still helps Putin wage war against Ukraine.
At their summit a week ago, NATO leaders called China a "decisive factor" in the war. Sullivan's comments suggest that new steps are imminent.
Ukraine's partners are excited, because Beijing is getting closer to providing lethal aid to the Russian Federation, against which Western officials have warned.
