During the recent Group of Seven (G7) summit in Italy, leaders of the world's most advanced economies issued a stark warning against China, accusing it of enabling Russia's war in Ukraine. The G7 leaders emphasized that China's ongoing support for Russia's defense industrial base is allowing Moscow to sustain its illegal actions in Ukraine, with significant security implications.
The G7 called on China to halt the transfer of dual-use materials, such as weapons components, that contribute to Russia's defense sector. The leaders also threatened further sanctions against Chinese entities aiding Russia in circumventing Western embargoes.
