The US warns China against financially aiding Russia

BBC World Service - World Business Report, The US warns China against financially aiding Russia

White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan warned China to not aide Russia.

For two weeks, Western countries have been ramping up restrictions on trade with Russia. As these start to bite into Moscow's economy, the US National Security Adviser has issued a warning to China. Ahead of a meeting with Bejing's top Foreign Policy Official in Rome on Monday, Jake Sullivan said China would 'absolutely' face consequences if it helped Moscow to evade or backfill sanctions. We spoke to Dr Bhavna Dave is a Senior Lecturer in Central Asian Politics at the School of Oriental and African Studies and asked her about the relationship between Beijing and Moscow.

Next, we discuss the enormous numbers of people who have been fleeing Ukraine, in an effort to escape the fighting with Konstantin Sonin -  a Russian Economist, and a Professor at the University of Chicago. 

We then asked our regular analyst Michael Hughes if  with the supplies of Russian oil and gas now set to run dry - would other countries step up to supply Europe?


Then we go to the BBC's North America business correspondent Michelle Fleury. She spoke to The head of America's largest natural gas producer, EQT. He said he believes the US could replace Russian natural gas there. 


Next, Dr Selam Kidane is an Eritrean Psychology lecturer at the University of West London and a human rights activist. We asked her about Eritrea's  relationship with the UN and Russia in light of the country refusing to sanction Russia.

Lastly - In many markets, there is a campaign to stop Russian channels from broadcasting what's being called propaganda pertaining to the Ukraine crises. In Europe, RT has already disappeared from satellite services - and in Canada a group of Russian language journalists have signed a letter demanding that the government bans outlets controlled by the Kremlin from their airwaves. Alla Kadysh  is a Russian radio and podcast host in Toronto, wrote the letter.
