A spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce of China said on the 21st that despite China's repeated negotiations and opposition, the EU insisted on its own initiative and continued to include some Chinese companies on the list in the 18th round of sanctions against Russia, and sanctioned two Chinese financial institutions on the charge of "false". China strongly dissatisfied with this and firmly opposed it.
A reporter asked: On July 18, the EU announced that it would include some Chinese companies and financial institutions on the list in the 18th round of sanctions against Russia. What is China’s comment on this? A spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce made the above response. The spokesperson said that China has always opposed unilateral sanctions without the basis of international law and without the authorization of the UN Security Council. The European side's actions violate the spirit of the consensus of China-Europe leaders and have had a serious negative impact on China-Europe economic and trade relations and financial cooperation. China urges the European side to immediately stop the wrong practices of listing Chinese companies and financial institutions. China will take necessary measures to resolutely safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises and financial institutions.
