Chinese companies, including one connected to the government in Beijing, have sent Russian entities 1,000 assault rifles and other equipment that could be used for military purposes, according to trade and customs data obtained by POLITICO.

The confirmation of these shipments comes as leaders in the U.S. and Europe warn Beijing against supporting Russia’s efforts in Ukraine. Western officials have said in recent weeks that, a move that could alter the nature of the fighting on the ground in Ukraine, tipping it in Russia’s favor. Officials are also concerned that some of the dual-use material could also be used by Russia to equip reinforcements being deployed to Ukraine at a time when Moscow is in desperate need of supplies.

It’s currently unclear if Russia is using any of the rifles included in the shipment data on the battlefield — Tekhkrim, the Russian company, did not respond to an emailed request for comment. But the DJI droneson the battlefield for months. DJI did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Asked about the findings in the data obtained by POLITICO, Poland’s Ambassador to the EU Andrzej Sadoś said that “due to the potential very serious consequences, such information should be verified immediately.”Moscow’s ability to import everything from microchips to tear gas, Russia’s still able to buy supplies that support its war effort from “friendly” countries that aren’t following the West’s new rules, like China or the Gulf countries.

“The challenge with dual-use items is that the export control system we have has to consider both the commercial sales possibilities as well as the military use of certain items,” said Zach Cooper, former assistant to the deputy national security adviser for combating terrorism at the National Security Council.

as much i despise both China and Russia but there is no solid proof to back it up, POLITICO always lies and spreads fake news.

ChenHank Right now this is non-news. If they scaled up real production of say, artillery rounds, then danctions on china will crash their stock market, forcing a preemptive strike on Taiwan to come early. You heard it here first.

Yeah, and the US citizens are still blindly supporting TikTok, the company in China.

So like 1% of what bidet gave cocainsky

mikes_booh This is smoke, much ado about 0 for clicks & tension. Let me know when China starts supplying arms to the Russians their military can use, rifles chambered for .223 ammo aren't on that list.

Sanctions.

Biden has empowered Russia to be more aggressive. The presidential administration is incompetent and our military leaders are woke girly boys. No one would dare disrespect America when Trump was President.

Good.

What a big lie stop all the hate

partizan_oleg What's your view on this? 1000 5.56 mm rifle is a odd choice of weapon to deliver.

CQ rifles operate on 5.56mm cartridge, one that not a single Russian rifle uses.

wow 1000 rifles over 6 months 😴

The ad literally says 'Carbine, Hunting Self-Loading', so it is not a copy of an M-16, but rather an AR-15, and they do actually have dual uses.

Funny how some obtuse gop representatives are calling for abandoning Ukraine to focus on China when the reality is that that Russia is as much a proxy for China as Ukraine is for the US.

JonLemire It’s nice seeing undemocratic authoritarian countries supporting each other 🙄

HelloMrBond It is the same as the yankees do all over the world. So yankees are allowed to go to war everywhere they like, but of China or Russia do it, it is a shame? 'The US is the greatest threat to world peace'.

JacquiHeinrich Why does PressSec rarely call on you or Peter Doocy in the press briefings?

JacquiHeinrich Way to go Biden! The WORST President of our Generation.

JacquiHeinrich Just wait until you all hear about the billions sent to the corrupt Nazi filled country fighting Russia and you will never guess who is sending it all to them.

Two dictators & odd couple.

ChinaRussiaGenocide China like Iran or anyone sending arms, drones to Russia are complicit in genocide of Ukrainians, Putin Hitler should not be supported in lunacy to continue his brutal aggression, his own troops dying in droves

Chinese companies, including one connected to the government in Beijing? Um, what Chinese companies are not connected to the government? They are a communist country!
