Shanghai:
China on Saturday introduced new rules to monitor military equipment purchase contracts, the official Xinhua news agency said.
The announcement came a day after President Xi Jinping had a video call with his US counterpart Joe Biden in which they discussed the war in Ukraine.
During the conversation, Biden warned China not to support the Russian attack on Ukraine. Biden also said China, which has called for a ceasefire in Ukraine, is making its own decisions.
The rules aim to improve the efficiency of overseeing military equipment procurement contracts and ensure good quality equipment is supplied to the military, Xinhua said, without giving specific details.
The rules come into effect on March 20.
