Russia received an unexpected blow: from December 1, China introduced restrictions on the supply of drones to Russia

Russia received an unexpected blow from one of its main partners. It is about China. From December 1, China will introduce restrictions on the delivery of goods abroad that can have a dual purpose – both civilian and military. In particular, such restrictions will be introduced for drones, which the Russian Federation actively buys in the Celestial Empire.

This is reported by LIGA, referring to a publication in CNBC.

The reason for the new restrictions was NATO's call on China to stop supporting the Russian armed forces. The Alliance believes that China provides military assistance to Russia through the supply of its products, which have dual use. That is, they can have both civilian and military use.

In China, they reacted to the ultimatum from NATO, announcing that from December 1 they will strengthen export controls for this kind of goods. In particular, the law providing for the licensing of goods for export will enter into force on December 1. A list of goods for export will be compiled, in which the end user of each product and the purpose of its use will be indicated.

In particular, as the spokesman of the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China, He Yadong, said, China is already more carefully checking export licenses for drones and other goods, which can be used in military operations. At the same time, the Chinese authorities also emphasize that the unilateral sanctions introduced by the US and niche Western countries are not entirely legal from the point of view of international law.

However, the publication expresses doubt that the sanctions promised by China will be effective. After all, Russia was and remains one of the largest (if not the largest) trade partner of the PRC, and China has no intention of getting rid of such a partner.

Actually, this was recently confirmed by Chinese leader Xi Jinping during the BRICS summit in Kazan. Shaking Putin's hand, he assured that, despite all the global challenges, the “deep relations” between the People's Republic of China and the Russian Federation will remain intact.
