On February 27th, a spokesperson for the Chinese Embassy in the European Union answered questions from reporters regarding the 16th round of EU sanctions against Russia, which listed Chinese companies and individuals. Q: On February 24th, the European Union announced that it would include some Chinese companies and individuals in the 16th round of sanctions against Russia. What is China’s comment on this? Answer: China has always opposed unilateral sanctions without international legal basis and authorization from the United Nations Security Council. The approach taken by the European side is unreasonable and without legal basis, which is very wrong. We express strong dissatisfaction and resolute opposition, and have made solemn representations to the European side. On the issue of Ukraine, China has always adhered to an objective and fair stance, advocated for peace and talks, and is committed to promoting a political solution to the crisis. We urge the European side to immediately stop smearing and blaming China without factual basis, and to immediately stop listing Chinese companies. China will take necessary measures to resolutely safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises.
