The provisions would mark the first direct penalties against Beijing despite long-held Western suspicions over its support for Russia’s military operations.

“China has to understand that the same kinds of sanctions which are beginning to really take hold in Russia and are affecting Russian productivity, economic performance and quality of life, can also be applied to China,” says Gerald Connolly, Democratic Senator and member of the U.S. House Committee on Foreign Relations said.
