China Likely Providing Military Aid to Russia: US Intelligence Report

Chinese technology is driving Russiaโ€™s ongoing war in Ukraine and helping Moscow to evade international sanctions, a new government report says.

Chinaโ€™s communist regime isย helping Russia to evade sanctionsย and likely providing Russia with military and dual-use technology for use in Ukraine, according to a newly released unclassified reportย (pdf) compiled by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI).

โ€œ[China] is providing some dual-use technology that Moscowโ€™s military uses to continue the war in Ukraine, despite an international cordon of sanctions and export controls,โ€ the report says.

โ€œThe customs records show [Chinaโ€™s] state-owned defense companies shipping navigation equipment, jamming technology, and fighter jet parts to sanctioned Russian Government-owned defense companies.โ€

China and Russia Continue to Unite Against US, Allies

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP), which rules China as a single-party state, denies sending any military equipment to Russia. However, the two authoritarian powers have vowed to uphold a โ€œno-limitsโ€ partnership throughout the war, up to and includingย strategic coordination.

The burgeoning alliance between the CCP and the Kremlin has been a growing concern to Western officials since CCP General Secretary Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin firstย announced their partnershipย on Feb. 4 last year.

Since then, Mr. Xi hasnโ€™t joined in international sanctions on Russia for the invasion of Ukraine, and the CCP has consistently taken the position that global financial actions against Russia are invalid, thus providing Russia with a vitalย economic lifelineย in Chinese markets.

Despite Beijingโ€™s claims to the contrary, however, multiple reports have suggested that the regime could beย funneling lethal aid to Russiaย through proxies in the Middle East.

According to a February report by German media outletย Der Spiegel, the Chinese regime falsified shipping documents to disguise military aviation equipment bound for Russia as civil in nature and used intermediaries in the United Arab Emirates to deliver dual-use drones to Russia.

Similarly, the White House has acknowledged that Chinese companies have directly supported Russiaโ€™s war in Ukraine andย issued sanctionsย on Chinese entities accused of backfilling Russiaโ€™s defense industry but stopped short of saying that such support amounts to state-directed lethal aid.
