China’s Equipment Development Department and director Li Shangfu made a “significant transaction” involving the purchase of Russian combat aircraft and surface-to-air missiles, State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said in a written statement. The purchase violated a 2017 law intended to punish the government of President Vladimir Putin for interfering in U.S. elections and other activities.
