BEIJING, July 21 (Xinhua) — China on Monday called on the European Union to stop harming the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises without any factual basis, and warned that it will take all necessary measures to protect such rights and interests.

The corresponding statement was made by the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China, Guo Jiakun, at a daily briefing when he was asked to comment on the new sanctions of the European Union against Russia, affecting a number of Chinese companies and banks.

"I would like to emphasize that China has consistently opposed unilateral restrictive measures that are not based on international law and are not sanctioned by the UN Security Council," Guo Jiakun said.

Touching on the Ukrainian crisis, the diplomat noted that China has made tireless efforts to promote peace talks, has never supplied lethal weapons to conflicting parties, and exercises strict control over its export of dual-use goods.

Normal business contacts and cooperation between Chinese and Russian enterprises should not be subject to any interference or influence, Guo Jiakun stressed. –0–
