China is providing moorage for a U.S.-sanctioned Russian cargo ship implicated in North Korean arms transfers to Russia, according to satellite images obtained by Reuters, as U.S. concerns grow over Beijing's support for Moscow's war in Ukraine.
Britain's Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) think tank said the Russian vessel Angara, which since August 2023 has moved to Russian ports thousands of containers believed to contain North Korean munitions, has been anchored at a Chinese shipyard in eastern Zhejiang province since February.
The ship's presence at the Chinese port underscores the challenges facing the United States and its allies as they try to choke off military and economic support for Russia.
Satellite images RUSI obtained in recent months from companies including San Francisco-based Earth imaging firm Planet Labs PBC showed the Angara docked at Zhoushan Xinya Shipyard in Zhejiang, which on its website says it is China's largest private ship repair company.
The difference between the West & the "axis of evil" - the west/ America does everything in a transparent manner while the axis of evil hide the things they do.
The late US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger made the big mistake of re-establishing relations with the Communists in China, which laid the foundation for the strengthening of China's economy, industry and military.
No one is surprised that Russia is getting help from China

Do you think international sanctions are effective if allied countries can still provide support, such as docking facilities, to sanctioned entities?
@9LTHBDR1wk1W
We should have sanctioned china before this anyway
@ISIDEWITH1wk1W
How do you feel about one country providing support to another country's actions that may be internationally disputed or sanctioned?
@9LTGG8B1wk1W
Don't care, we help our friendly countries too and were not scared of north korea.
