The U.S. State Department announced Thursday that it would impose sanctions against the Chinese military for its purchase of Russian military equipment. In the official statement, American diplomatic officials noted, "Today's actions are not intended to undermine the military capabilities or combat readiness of any country but rather to impose costs on Russia in response to its interference in the United States election process, its unacceptable behavior in eastern Ukraine, and other malign activities."
