Blinken raises concern about China's support of Russia

STORY: Blinken raised the matter during five-and-a-half hours of talks with China's top diplomat Wang Yi in Beijing, the latest high-level contact between the countries that have eased last year's acrimony.

"I reiterated our serious concern about the PRC providing components that are powering Russia's brutal war of aggression against Ukraine," Blinken said at a news conference at the end of his visit on Friday, using China's official name, the People's Republic of China.

Blinken did not respond to a question on whether Washington would impose sanctions over China's support for Russia.
