US warns China of consequences if it tries to help Russia on sanctions

The adviser to the President of the United States stressed that "this will entail consequences for the PRC."

The United States authorities have notified Beijing of the ‘consequences’ if the PRC tries to help Russia compensate for losses from Western sanctions, said Jake Sullivan, National Security Adviser to the President of the United States.

"We are closely monitoring the extent to which China actually provides material and economic support to Russia," Sullivan was quoted as saying by Ria Novosti, RT reported.

According to him, "The US authorities informed Beijing that they would not tolerate or allow any country to try to compensate Russia for its economic losses."

The adviser to the President of the United States stressed that "this will entail consequences for the PRC."
