I made clear that if China does not address this problem, we will," Blinken told reporters afterward.

These are the same mofos that couldn't threaten Ansar Allah to do their bidding.

The Biden administration worries that allowing the flow of supplies from China to continue would keep attrition at bay for Moscow's forces and put Ukraine's goal of a counterattack next spring out of reach.

Next spring? A counter attack? I have never seen copium of this grade before. This ahit is the blue meth of copium.

The pressure is starting to have an effect. Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and other major Chinese commercial banks are refusing to accept yuan payments from Russia, according to Russian media, with more transactions being blocked since late March.

Big if true. But no evidence is provided. There would be no reason to "weigh sanctions" if Chinese banks already stopped helping Russia.

I tracked some citations back to an Izvestia article. Seems pretty real.

That being said, China could just be starting to apply their Iran model to Russia - designating a few small regional banks with no USD exposure to be receiving houses for Rubles. Those banks inevitably get sanctioned but they shrug and keep doing what they're doing. Once the money is inside China, it's very difficult for the US to keep track of it.
