US considers new actions against China-based firms supplying Russia’s defence sector
The United States on Wednesday announced a major expansion of sanctions designed to undercut Russia’s production of weapons for its war on Ukraine.
Among the actions, the Commerce Department said it was targeting Hong Kong shell companies for diverting semiconductors to Russia, in steps that would affect nearly US$100 million of high-priority items for Moscow including such chips.

China said it opposed the sanctions and called the United States “extremely hypocritical and overbearing” for supplying weapons to Kyiv while pressing for an end to the war.
US-made chips and other technology have been found in a wide array of Russian hardware, from drones to radios, missiles and armoured vehicles recovered from the battlefield, Ukrainian officials say.
The conflict has raged since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
