China is providing Russia with “very substantial” military support in exchange for key technological capabilities, US Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell said on Tuesday (10 September) after talks with EU and NATO counterparts.
“We’re seeing coordination, diversification and efforts at the highest levels of both governments to try to both hide and protect certain elements of this worrisome collaboration,” Campbell told a group of reporters, including Euractiv, in Brussels.
“What the Chinese are providing – and we have provided our colleagues here in Europe, both in NATO and EU venues [with information] – [is] direct support for Russia’s defence industrial base,” Campbell said.
