China in turn accused on Monday the U.S. of spreading \u201cdisinformation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chinese state broadcaster CCTV said the talks with the U.S. were underway around 11:50 a.m. Rome time (1050 GMT), but gave no other details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The prospect of China offering Russia financial help is one of several concerns for President Joe Biden. A U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive matters, said that in recent days, Russia had requested support from China, including military equipment, to press forward in its ongoing war with Ukraine. The official did not provide details on the scope of the request. The request was first reported by the Financial Times and The Washington Post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Biden administration is also accusing China of spreading Russian disinformation that could be a pretext for Russian President Vladimir Putin\u2019s forces to attack Ukraine with chemical or biological weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"4876\" height=\"3251\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP22072492675175.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-90494\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP22072492675175.jpg.jpg 4876w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP22072492675175.jpg.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP22072492675175.jpg.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP22072492675175.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP22072492675175.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,1024 1536w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP22072492675175.jpg.jpg?resize=2048,1365 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 4876px) 100vw, 4876px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan speaks during a press briefing at the White House, Feb. 11, 2022, in Washington. President Biden is sending his national security adviser for talks with a senior Chinese official in Rome on Monday, March 14, 2022. The meeting comes as concerns grow that China is amplifying Russian disinformation in the Ukraine war. Last week the White House accused Beijing of spreading false Russian claims that Ukraine was running chemical and biological weapons labs with U.S. support. The White House says talks between national security adviser Jake Sullivan and senior Chinese foreign policy adviser Yang Jiechi will center on \u201cefforts to manage the competition between our two countries and discuss the impact of Russia\u2019s war against Ukraine on regional and global security.&#8221; (AP Photo\/Manuel Balce Ceneta)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine has put China in a delicate spot with two of its biggest trading partners: the U.S. and European Union. China needs access to those markets, yet it also has shown support for Moscow, joining with Russia in declaring a friendship with \u201cno limits.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In his talks with senior Chinese foreign policy adviser Yang Jiechi, Sullivan will indeed be looking for limits in what Beijing will do for Moscow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m not going to sit here publicly and brandish threats,\u201d he told CNN in a round of Sunday news show interviews. \u201cBut what I will tell you is we are communicating directly and privately to Beijing that there absolutely will be consequences\u201d if China helps Russia \u201cbackfill\u201d its losses from the sanctions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe will not allow that to go forward and allow there to be a lifeline to Russia from these economic sanctions from any country anywhere in the world,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Without giving details, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian said Monday that the \u201cUkraine situation will definitely be a hot topic\u201d at the meeting, which had been scheduled before Russia invaded its neighbor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Asked at a daily briefing about the reported Russian request for assistance, Zhao responded: \u201cThe U.S. has been spreading disinformation targeting China recently over the Ukraine issue. It is malicious.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat is pressing now is that all parties should exercise restraint and strive to cool down the situation, rather than fueling the tension,\u201d Zhao told reporters. \u201cWe should promote diplomatic settlements instead of further escalating the situation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a statement posted on the ministry\u2019s website late Sunday, Zhao did not mention Ukraine, but said the sides would \u201cexchange views on China-U.S. relations and international and regional issues of common concern.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The White House said the talks will focus on the direct impact of Russia\u2019s war against Ukraine on regional and global security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Biden administration officials say Beijing is spreading false Russian claims that Ukraine was running chemical and biological weapons labs with U.S. support.

(AP Photo\/Vadim Ghirda)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The striking U.S. accusations about Russian disinformation and Chinese complicity came after Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova alleged with no evidence that the U.S. was financing Ukrainian chemical and biological weapons labs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Russian claim was echoed by Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Zhao, who claimed there were 26 bio-labs and related facilities in \u201cwhich the U.S. Department of Defense has absolute control.\u201d The United Nations has said it has received no information backing up such accusations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">White House press secretary Jen Psaki called the claims \u201cpreposterous.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is growing concern inside the White House that China is aligning itself with Russia on the Ukraine war in hopes it will advance Beijing\u2019s \u201cvision of the world order\u201d in the long term, according to a person familiar with administration thinking. The person was not authorized to comment publicly and spoke on the condition of anonymity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sullivan told \u201cFace the Nation\u201d on CBS that the Russian rhetoric on chemical and biological warfare is \u201can indicator that, in fact, the Russians are getting ready to do it and try and pin the blame elsewhere and nobody should fall for that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The international community has assessed that Russia used chemical weapons in attempts to assassinate Putin detractors such as Alexei Navalny and former spy Sergei Skripal. Russia also supports the Assad government in Syria, which has used chemical weapons against its people in a decade-long civil war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">China has been one of few countries to avoid criticizing the Russians for its invasion of Ukraine. China\u2019s leader Xi Jinping hosted Putin for the opening of the Winter Olympics in Beijing, just three weeks before Russia invaded on Feb. 24.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During Putin\u2019s visit, the two leaders issued a 5,000-word statement declaring limitless \u201cfriendship\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Chinese abstained on U.N. votes censuring Russia and has criticized economic sanctions against Moscow. It has expressed its support for peace talks and offered its services as a mediator, despite questions about its neutrality and scant experience mediating international conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But questions remain over how far Beijing will go to alienate the West and put its own economy at risk. Sullivan said China and all countries are on notice that they cannot \u201cbasically bail Russia out &#8230; give Russia a workaround to the sanctions,\u201d with impunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chinese officials have said Washington shouldn\u2019t be able to complain about Russia\u2019s actions because the U.S. invaded Iraq under false pretenses. The U.S. claimed to have evidence Saddam Hussein was stockpiling weapons of mass destruction though none was ever found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On CNN, Sullivan said the administration believes China knew that Putin \u201cwas planning something\u201d before the invasion of Ukraine. But he said the Chinese government \u201cmay not have understood the full extent of it because it\u2019s very possible that Putin lied to them the same way that he lied to Europeans and others.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sullivan and Yang last met for face-to-face talks in Switzerland, where Sullivan raised the Biden administration\u2019s concerns about China\u2019s military provocations against Taiwan, human rights abuses against ethnic minorities and efforts to squelch pro-democracy advocates in Hong Kong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That meeting set the stage for a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/biden-xi-meeting-e6013378e03727b85a8f59f71fe61f4a\">three-hour long virtual meeting<\/a>&nbsp;in November between Biden and Xi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sullivan is also to meet Luigi Mattiolo, diplomatic adviser to Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi, while in Rome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>Associated Press writer Hope Yen contributed to this report.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cWe will not
