House Republicans are calling on the State Department to submit a report to Congress detailing the extent of Chinese support to Russia before and during its invasion of Ukraine.
The legislation, exclusively obtained by The Post, is Congress’ latest effort to gain increased transparency about the authoritarian alliance as Ukraine endures its fifth week of brutal attacks by Russia – which reportedlyIntroduced on Friday, the Assessing Xi’s Interference and Subversion [AXIS] Act would require the Department to submit the report within 30 days of the bill’s enactment and require updating every 90 days.
Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke with Chinese President Xi Jinping before Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine.The bill notes several occasions on which Russia appeared to support China, including its abstention from a vote on a United Nations Security Council calling for an end to the Russian invasion Feb. 25, as well as a General Assembly vote on a similar resolution the following week.
“The Chinese Communist Party has proven it is not willing or capable of acting as a constructive party in Russia’s unprovoked full-scale attack on Ukraine,” said Committee Ranking Member Michael McCaul A man walks past a burnt armored personnel carrier near buildings destroyed in the course of the Ukraine-Russia war in Mariupol, Ukraine April 1, 2022.During the meeting, Sullivan reportedly made it clear that the Biden administration has deep concerns about China’s alignment with the Kremlin. “Russia has its own potential to continue the operation, which, as we have said, is unfolding in accordance with the plan and will be completed on time and in full,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
