According to the website of the Ministry of Commerce on the 26th

According to the website of the Ministry of Commerce on the 26th, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce answered reporters' questions on the US-Israel sanctions against some Chinese entities related to Russia.
A reporter asked: The US recently imposed sanctions on several Chinese companies for Russia-related reasons. What is China's comment?
A: China has noted the relevant situation. What the US has done is typical unilateral sanctions, "long-arm jurisdiction" and economic coercion, which undermine international economic and trade rules and order and undermine the security and stability of the global industrial chain and supply chain. China is firmly opposed to this. China will take necessary measures to firmly safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises.



The Spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce's remarks on the list of Chinese companies under the 13th round of EU sanctions against Russia
Q: On February 23, the EU announced that it would list four Chinese companies in the 13th round of sanctions against Russia. What is China's comment?
A: Despite China's repeated representations and dissuasion, the EU has persisted in putting four Chinese companies on the sanctions list in the 13th round of sanctions against Russia. This is unilateral sanctions and "long-arm jurisdiction" that has no basis in international law and is authorized by the UN Security Council. This act runs counter to the spirit of the consensus reached at the China-Eu summit and will hurt China-Eu economic and trade relations. China firmly opposes this and urges the EU to bear in mind the overall interests of China-Eu comprehensive strategic partnership and unconditionally stop listing Chinese companies. China will resolutely safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises.

The Spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce's remarks on the UK's sanctions against Chinese companies
Q: On February 22, the UK Department for Foreign Affairs and Development announced more than 50 new sanctions against Russia, including three Chinese companies. What is China's comment?
A: In disregard of the sound momentum of China-UK economic and trade cooperation, the UK recently singled out three Chinese companies in the new Russia-related sanctions. China is firmly opposed to that. What the UK has done is unilateral sanctions that have no basis in international law and are not authorized by the UN Security Council. It is a typical "long-arm jurisdiction" and will hurt China-UK economic and trade relations. We urge the British side to bear in mind the overall interests of China-UK economic and trade relations, immediately correct its wrong actions, and unconditionally stop listing Chinese companies. China will resolutely safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises.

According to Reuters and other media reports, the news released on the same day by the agency of Industry and Security Bureau under the US Department of Commerce, the department decided to include 93 entities from Russia, China, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates and other countries in the "entity list", of which 63 are from Russia, 8 are from China, 16 are from Turkey, and 4 are from the United Arab Emirates. According to Reuters, the US side decided to impose trade restrictions on these entities.




TASS reported on the 24th that Liu Pengyu told the media that "the United States imposed more unilateral sanctions on Chinese companies on the grounds of involvement in Russia." This is a typical act of economic coercion and unilateral bullying." "The US side should immediately correct its wrong practices and stop curbing and suppressing Chinese companies." Mr. Liu added that China was "firmly opposed to the United States generalizing the concept of national security and abusing state power to suppress Chinese companies."
It is worth noting that since Russia launched special military operations against Ukraine on February 24, 2022, the United States has repeatedly suppressed Chinese companies on the grounds of Russia-related factors. At a regular press conference held by the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs on February 20, 2024, a reporter mentioned that according to the US Consumer News & Business Channel, the United States is considering imposing sanctions on some Chinese companies on the grounds of China-Russia cooperation. We are not watching the fire from a distance, still less taking advantage of it. We have always opposed unilateral sanctions and "long-arm jurisdiction" that have no basis in international law and are not authorized by the Security Council. China will continue to take necessary measures to firmly safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises.
