WASHINGTON: The United States is 'confident' that China is considering providing lethal materiel to support the Russian forces invading Ukraine, senior officials said Sunday (Feb 26). And while they have seen no sign Beijing has done so yet, they underscored the US message this weekend that China should no

On Sunday, Jake Sullivan, the US national security advisor, made the rounds of the morning talk shows to reinforce Washington's warnings.

He said the United States would remain"vigilant" about Chinese military supplies to Russia and that there would be consequences should Beijing send lethal weaponry. "We will continue to send a strong message that we believe that sending military aid to Russia at this time... would be a bad mistake, and China should want no part of it," he said on CNN.

Sullivan noted that the war in Ukraine poses"real complications" for Beijing, but he reiterated that a decision to help arm Russia would"come at real cost to China."Washington has yet to detail what those costs might be, but it does have a large array of available sanctions that could seriously affect the economy of China, one of the largest US trading partners.
