As U.S. and European businesses cut ties with Russia, Chinese tech firms remain silent

American and European firms have been cutting ties with Russia or at least reducing their business in the country since it invaded Ukraine, but Chinese technology businesses have remained relatively quiet.

CNBC contacted nine major Chinese technology companies but only one provided comment. The rest declined to comment or did not return responses.

While leaders in the U.S., Europe and Asia have denounced and sanctioned Russia and President Vladimir Putin, China has refused to call the attack an invasion.

Apple said Tuesday it stopped selling its products in Russia. The iPhone giant also said that it removed Russian state-backed media outlets RT News and Sputnik News from its App Store around the world except for Russia.

China is supposed to provide ways for Putin to make money now, etc.

I wonder how China is feeling about Putin right now?
