China is learning from the Russian-Ukrainian war, which could serve as a clue to potential future actions against Taiwan.

FBI Director Christopher Wray said this in front of an audience at Texas A&M University in College Station, according to CNN.

According to him, a lesson China may be focused on is "the impact of sanctions on the Russian economy."

Wray emphasized that China has already started "to take steps to cushion their economy against potential sanctions."

He noted that those actions could serve as a clue to potential future actions against Taiwan.

"If they were to choose, for example, to forcibly try to take over Taiwan, you can expect a whole lot of sanctions coming down. So the fact that the Chinese are spending this much time cushioning their economy, at least in my world … we call that kind of behavior a clue," he said.
