U.S. weighs sanctions on Chinese banks over Russia military support ========== The U.S. is considering imposing sanctions on Chinese financial institutions believed to be helping Russia amid its invasion of Ukraine. The move is aimed at clamping down on what the U.S. sees as a lifeline for Russian military production. During a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken urged Beijing to end military support for Moscow. Russia has reportedly acquired sights for 3,000 tanks from China through Belarus since spring 2023, despite American and European sanctions. #Us #China #Russia #Sanctions #Ukraine #MilitarySupport https://asia.nikkei.com/Politics/Ukraine-war/U.S.-weighs-sanctions-on-Chinese-banks-over-Russia-military-support
