There are concerns China is amplifying Russian disinformation in the Ukraine war. 9News
The talks between national security adviser Jake Sullivan and senior Chinese foreign policy adviser Yang Jiechi will centre on "efforts to manage the competition between our two countries and discuss the impact of Russia's war against Ukraine on regional and global security," said Emily Horne, speaking for the White House national security council.
"We will ensure that neither China nor anyone else can compensate Russia for these losses," Mr Sullivan said. The international community for years has assessed that Russia has used chemical weapons in carrying out assassination attempts against 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.
Russian President Vladimir Putin and China's President Xi Jinping flagged closer ties after a meeting on the sidelines of the Beijing Olympics.
