Spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce responds to questions from reporters regarding UK sanctions on Chinese companies. Question: On February 24, the UK Foreign Office announced a new round of sanctions involving Russia, which also affected several Chinese companies. What is China’s comment on this? Answer: The UK has repeatedly taken measures against Chinese companies citing involvement with Russia. Such actions are unilateral sanctions without a basis in international law or UN authorization. China strongly disapproves and firmly opposes this. Regarding the Ukraine crisis, China consistently controls the export of military and dual-use items in accordance with laws and regulations. Normal exchanges and cooperation between Chinese and Russian companies should not be disturbed or affected. China urges the UK to correct its wrongful practices immediately, withdraw the sanctions against relevant Chinese entities, and maintain the healthy development of China-UK relations. China will take necessary measures to firmly safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies. (Ministry of Commerce)
