Chinese firms have been targeted for the first time in the UK’s fresh round of sanctions aimed at military suppliers that are “propping up Russia’s war machine.”

Three Hong Kong-registered firms, Asia Pacific Links Limited, Sinno Electronics Co., Limited, and Xinghua Co., Limited, are among the 46 individuals and entities sanctioned on Wednesday, for “supplying sanctioned goods, critical for Russia’s war efforts,” the government said.
