They have very few friends on the planet, so what I propose we do, is if in fact the Chinese are helping arm Russia and providing assistance to get around international sanctions, that we put secondary sanctions on China\u2014that we go after anybody and everybody who tries to prop up the war criminal Putin.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Graham added, \u201cAnd if we don\u2019t do that, then I think we\u2019re missing an opportunity to further isolate Russia and finally in my lifetime, since Trump left anyway, stand up to China.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The senator\u2019s comments come as U.S. authorities and retired military officials discuss how Chinese President Xi Jinping is closely monitoring how the Biden administration reacts to the situation in Ukraine.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">China has been criticizing the spread of reports that Russia asked the country for military equipment and other assistance after the beginning of Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">On Monday, Beijing reportedly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/world\/china-pushes-back-reports-russia-asked-help-ukraine-rcna19872\"><span class=\"s1\">said<\/span><\/a>, \u201cthe U.S. has been spreading disinformation and this is very dangerous.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cWe need to advance a diplomatic solution of the situation instead of further escalating the situation,\u201d Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said at a press briefing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">On Sunday, American authorities had reportedly said the U.S. government had cause to think that Russia requested the assistance from China.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Information about the requests spread before White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan met with China\u2019s senior diplomat, Yang Jiechi, in Rome on Monday, according to National Security Council spokesperson\u00a0Emily Horne, per <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2022\/03\/13\/politics\/jake-sullivan-meeting-chinese-counterpart-ukraine\/index.html\">CNN<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">On Sunday, Sullivan <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2022\/03\/13\/politics\/jake-sullivan-meeting-chinese-counterpart-ukraine\/index.html\"><span class=\"s1\">said<\/span><\/a> on CNN\u2019s \u201cState of the Union\u201d that China providing Russia with help is a \u201cconcern.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cWe also are watching closely to see the extent to which China actually does provide any form of support, material support or economic support, to Russia. It is a concern of ours. And we have communicated to Beijing that we will not stand by and allow any country to compensate Russia for its losses from the economic sanctions,\u201d Sullivan said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">NBC News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/world\/china-pushes-back-reports-russia-asked-help-ukraine-rcna19872\">reported<\/a>, \u201cKremlin spokesman Dmitry\u00a0Peskov on Monday denied that Moscow had requested military aid from other countries.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cThe officials with knowledge of Russia\u2019s request to China declined to elaborate on whether Beijing agreed to supply military aid, or whether the United States even knows the answer to that question. They declined say what kind of equipment was requested, and whether it was lethal,\u201d the outlet added.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/poll-democrats-losing-support-on-main-issues\"><span class=\"s1\">reported<\/span><\/a>, in a recent poll by The Wall Street Journal discussing the feelings of U.S. voters towards various pressing topics, China was on the minds of many respondents.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Journal reported, \u201c73% of voters said China was the nation\u2019s largest economic threat and 52% said it presented the biggest security threat.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Around 50% of voters said they approved of how Biden has dealt with Russia, contrasted with 44% who said they didn\u2019t approve. \u201cAsked a separate question on their view of how Mr. Biden has handled the crisis in Ukraine, 47% of voters said they approved and 46% disapproved,\u201d the Journal added. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">A broad majority of respondents said they were closely watching the situation in Ukraine \u2014 at 89%. And 55% said they were in favor of giving more military assistance to Ukraine, like equipment and weapons. The same amount said they would back putting additional economic sanctions on Russia.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
