"inLanguage": "en", "url": "https:\/\/www.asiafinancial.com", "articleBody": " \r\n\r\nEuropean lawmakers are looking to impose sanctions on companies in China, and for the first time India \u2013 both major trading partners \u2013 in heightened efforts to contain Russia's military in its war on Ukraine.\r\n\r\nThe European Commission has listed three Chinese companies, plus a business in India, and a group in Hong Kong which are among 21 firms facing sanctions.\r\n\r\nThe companies, which have not been named, are all accused of supporting or indirectly aiding the Russian military, according to a report by the <strong><a href="https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/183af737-ef65-4cea-9b27-06c384a5accd">Financial Times<\/a><\/strong>.\r\n\r\n \r\n<h3>ALSO SEE:\u00a0<a href="https:\/\/www.asiafinancial.com\/india-hits-new-high-on-key-msci-index-as-china-slides">India Hits New High on Key MSCI Index as China Slides<\/a><\/h3>\r\n \r\n\r\nThe sanctions, likely to be imposed in the next week to 10 days, aim to restrict the trade in electronic components that could be repurposed for weapons systems or used in the production of drones.\r\n\r\nThese measures occur in the lead-up to the second anniversary of the conflict in Ukraine (February 24), which is still creating alarm in Eastern Europe, because of Russia's continued aggression and delays in the US Congress blocking additional military support, <strong><a href="https:\/\/eutoday.net\/brussels-proposes-sanctions-russia\/">EUToday reported<\/a><\/strong>.\r\n\r\nThere has been persistent concern about Russia's continuing production of military hardware despite extensive sanctions imposed by Western nations.\r\n\r\nBeijing hit back on Tuesday, saying it "firmly opposes illegal sanctions or 'long-arm jurisdiction' against China" because of its cooperation with Russia.\r\n\r\n \r\n<h2>US tech found in Iranian weapons in Ukraine<\/h2>\r\nOfficials in Washington said late last week that "sensitive" items from the US had been showing up in Iranian weapons "recovered on the battlefield in Ukraine", as well as sites in the Middle East.\r\n\r\n"They do have sensitive US communications systems and they have sensitive microelectronics," Jim Mancuso, the assistant director of the Global Trade Division at Homeland Security Investigations, told <strong><a href="https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Politics\/china-russia-iran-attempting-illegally-acquire-us-technology\/story?id=107005768">ABC News<\/a><\/strong>.\r\n\r\nIran, China and Russia were all "attempting to illegally acquire" US microchips and technology, Mancuso said. America's adversaries used a "very extensive network" to get US technology out of the country, in violation of export laws. Specialized "procurement networks" were repacking the goods and routing them through China in order to get to places like Iran, he said.\r\n\r\nMeanwhile, European diplomats anticipate that more than 200 people could face sanctions from the measures they are now working on.\r\n\r\nThe sanctions package, which must be endorsed by member states, will be the 13th the European Union has passed. The list of companies under sanctions will rise to more than 640, if it is approved, the FT said.\r\n\r\nAside from the companies in China, India and Hong Kong, businesses in Sri Lanka, Turkey, Thailand, Serbia and Kazakhstan are also reportedly on the latest sanctions list.\r\n\r\n \r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Jim Pollard<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n \r\n\r\nNOTE: China's response to the measures planned by Brussels was added to this report on February 13, 2024.\r\n\r\n \r\n<h3>ALSO SEE:<\/h3>\r\n \r\n<h3 class="reports-big-head"><a href="https:\/\/www.asiafinancial.com\/eu-plans-sanctions-on-7-chinese-firms-aiding-russias-war-ft">EU Plans Sanctions on 7 Chinese Firms Aiding Russia\u2019s War \u2013 FT<\/a><\/h3>\r\n \r\n<h3 class="reports-big-head"><a href="https:\/\/www.asiafinancial.com\/china-fuelling-war-by-selling-russia-parts-for-weapons-ep">China Fuelling War by Selling Russia Parts for Weapons \u2013 EP<\/a><\/h3>\r\n \r\n<h3 class="reports-big-head"><strong><a href="https:\/\/www.asiafinancial.com\/china-hk-firms-sending-a-flood-of-us-chips-to-russia-nikkei">China, HK Firms Sending a Flood of US Chips to Russia \u2013 Nikkei<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\r\n \r\n<h3 class="reports-big-head"><a href="https:\/\/www.asiafinancial.com\/russia-says-china-agreed-to-sell-weapons-us-leak-wapo">Russia Says China Agreed to Sell Weapons: US Leak \u2013 WaPo<\/a><\/h3>\r\n \r\n<h3 class="reports-big-head"><a href="https:\/\/www.asiafinancial.com\/more-chinese-companies-facing-us-sanctions-over-ukraine">More Chinese Companies Facing US Sanctions Over Ukraine<\/a><\/h3>\r\n \r\n<h3 class="reports-big-head"><a href="https:\/\/www.asiafinancial.com\/us-may-reveal-intell-on-weapons-china-may-give-russia-wsj">US May Reveal Intel on Weapons China May Give Russia: WSJ<\/a><\/h3>\r\n \r\n<h3 class="reports-big-head"><a href="https:\/\/www.asiafinancial.com\/us-sanctions-china-firm-for-aiding-wagner-fighters-in-ukraine">US Sanctions China Firm For Aiding Wagner Fighters in Ukraine<\/a><\/h3>\r\n \r\n<h3 class="reports-big-head"><a href="https:\/\/www.asiafinancial.com\/russia-ships-sanctioned-oil-to-asia-in-chinese-supertankers">Russia Ships Sanctioned Oil to Asia in Chinese Supertankers<\/a><\/h3>\r\n \r\n\r\n ", "articleSection": "Aviation", "mainEntityOfPage": { "@type": "WebPage", "url": "https:\/\/www.asiafinancial.com\/eu-looking-to-sanction-chinese-india-hk-firms-over-russia-ties" }, "headline": "EU Looking to Sanction Chinese, India, HK Firms Over Russia Ties", "description": "European MPs plan to sanction three Chinese companies, plus businesses in India, Hong Kong and other countries in a bid to curb the supply of parts used in weapons and drones in Russia's war on Ukraine", "datePublished": "2024-02-13T11:18:35+00:00", "dateModified": "2024-02-13T11:47:02+00:00", "publisher": { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Asia Financial", "logo": { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https:\/\/www.asiafinancial.com\/wp-content\/themes\/atf\/images\/AF-logo-small.png", "width": "640", "height": "97" } }, "author": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Asia Financial" }, "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https:\/\/www.asiafinancial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/A-drone-in-Ukraine-Rs.jpg" } }</script> <script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=G-CNH68EHNDT"></script> <script> window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
