China Opposes U.S. Sanctions on Firms Linked to Russia

Aug 25, 2024, 07:53 AM

China has expressed strong opposition to recent U.S. sanctions on Chinese companies allegedly involved in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The Chinese Ministry of Commerce criticized these sanctions as a form of long-arm jurisdiction and unilateral action by the U.S. The ministry emphasized that China will take necessary measures to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the affected Chinese entities. This move by the U.S. involves placing certain Chinese entities on its export control 'entity list', which China resolutely opposes.
