The United States has voiced deep concerns over a recent report suggesting that Russia is operating a covert war drones project in China. This alleged development appears to involve a Chinese company providing lethal assistance to a U.S.-sanctioned Russian firm, a spokesperson for the White House National Security Council revealed on Wednesday.
While the White House has not found any evidence suggesting direct awareness or involvement by the Chinese government, officials emphasized China's responsibility in ensuring that its companies are not supplying lethal aid to Russia, particularly for use by its military forces.
The National Security Council spokesperson underscored the necessity for China's government to take accountability and prevent such transactions, which could exacerbate tensions and have far-reaching geopolitical implications.
