Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, the EU and U.S. have imposed a series of wide ranging economic sanctions against Russia. If countries that are politically aligned with Russia actively try to circumvent these sanctions the US and the EU might decide to impose a set of secondary, extra-territorial sanctions against these countries similar to the policy the US employed in the case of its Iran sanctions regime.

This question will be resolved via official EU or U.S. government declarations of economic sanctions against China for violations of sanctions on Russia.
