China has imposed new sanctions on the supply of equipment and chemicals to Russia, signaling a potential shift in its stance amid rising tensions with Western countries. The new restrictions may complicate the export of critical products to Russia, with analysts suggesting that U.S. influence may have played a role in this decision. In response to the sanctions, China has formed a dedicated team to assess their impact, according to the Wall Street Journal. Additionally, officials in Beijing are reportedly studying Russia's strategies for evading sanctions to prepare for potential conflicts, such as a Taiwan-related scenario, and the associated Western penalties.
