The comments came during a phone call between the leaders of the world's two largest economies which touched on Ukraine and Taiwan.
US President Joe Biden laid out to Chinese leader Xi Jinping on Friday the "consequences" of any backing for Russia in its war against Ukraine, the White House said, as Beijing showed no sign of joining Western condemnation of the invasion.
The comments came during a nearly two-hour phone call between the leaders of the world's two largest economies, which touched on Ukraine, Taiwan and their own relationship.
Biden "described the implications and consequences if China provides material support to Russia as it conducts brutal attacks against Ukrainian cities and civilians," the White House said in a statement.
The White House would not characterize Xi's response to the warning.
