At the two-day G7 summit in Italy, the heads of government of the seven major developed countries had some clear words for China. They unanimously criticized China’s delivery of weapons parts to Russia and called on the leadership in Beijing to cease all support for Russia’s arms industry. In their statement, the G7 urged China to „the transfer of dual-use materials, including weapons components and equipment, that are inputs for Russia’s defense sector.“ The G7 threatened to impose sanctions against actors from China and other countries „that materially support Russia’s war machine.“
