Calling Chard: asparagus and leek risotto with chicken | SaltWireWASHINGTON - China is providing moorage for a U.S.-sanctioned Russian cargo ship implicated in North Korean arms transfers to Russia, according to satellite images obtained by Reuters, as U.S. concerns grow over Beijing's support for Moscow's war in Ukraine.
That support is expected to top the agenda this week as Secretary of State Antony Blinken visits Beijing. "We call on all member states to fulfill their obligations under UNSCR 2397," the official said, referring to a United Nations resolution restricting trade with North Korea and requiring U.N. states to de-register any vessels involved in illicit activities.
The ship was identified by its unique automatic identification system transponder that had been briefly turned on, likely for safety reasons, while navigating a busy stretch of the Korea Strait en route to China. Joseph Byrne, a research fellow with RUSI, said China's government should know that the U.S.-sanctioned vessel was docked at its shipyard.
Blinken last week criticized Chinese support for Russia's defense industry, saying Beijing was currently the primary contributor to Moscow's war in Ukraine though its provision of critical components for weaponry.
