China Demands Cancellation of Sanctions Against Supplier of “Geran” Drones’ Antennas, Imposed by Britain After The Insider’s Investigation China has demanded the UK repeal sanctions against four Chinese companies accused of supplying critical military equipment to Russia, calling the sanctions unlawful and damaging. The UK claims these companies, including Harxon Corporation, provided technology aiding Russian aggression against Ukraine, specifically mentioning components for “Geran” drones. Despite Harxon’s denials and claims of an employee’s unauthorized actions, investigations suggest continued supply and misrepresentation of goods to bypass export controls.

• China demands the UK lift sanctions imposed on four Chinese companies for allegedly supplying Russia with military equipment.
• The UK sanctions target companies like Shenzhen Huaxin Antenna Technology Co Ltd (Harxon Corporation) for providing technology that undermines Ukraine’s territorial integrity.
• Investigations by The Insider and Nordsint revealed Harxon supplies CRPA-antennas, a key component for “Geran” (Shahed) drones, enabling them to resist electronic warfare.
• Harxon initially denied direct involvement, claiming an employee, Anthony Zheng, acted independently, but this was contradicted by evidence of his managerial role and company association.
• The article suggests Harxon antennas were disguised as agricultural equipment to circumvent export controls.
• China insists it does not supply lethal weapons and controls dual-use exports, while the UK government has reasonable grounds to believe Harxon is involved in supplying technology that aids Russian aggression.
