President Joe Biden
said he warned his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping of damage to the investment
climate if Beijing violated sanctions imposed by a coalition of countries
against Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.
In an excerpt of an interview with CBS due to air Sunday,
Biden said he told Xi that violating the sanctions would be a "gigantic
mistake," but said that so far there is no indication that China has
actively supported the Russian war effort with weapons sales.
Biden said he delivered the warning in a phone call shortly
after Xi met with Putin at the Beijing Winter Olympics on February 4 and
expressed support for the Kremlin leader.
"I called President Xi -- not to threaten at all, just
to say to him... that if you think Americans and others will continue to invest
in China, based on your violating the sanctions that have been imposed on
Russia, I think you're making a gigantic mistake," Biden said.
"Thus far, there's no indication they put forward
weapons or other things that Russia has wanted," Biden said.
The US president also dismissed the notion that the
Chinese-Russian alliance effectively means the United States is fighting a new
kind of Cold War.
"I don't think it is a new, more complicated, Cold
War," he said.
Russia invaded its pro-Western neighbor Ukraine on February
24, resulting in ongoing devastation of cities and towns across much of the
country.
