BEIJING, July 21 (Xinhua) — A Chinese Ministry of Commerce spokesperson on Monday expressed strong dissatisfaction and resolute protest over the European Union's (EU) decision to include some Chinese companies and financial institutions in the 18th round of sanctions against Russia.
In response to a media question, a spokesman for the agency said the EU, ignoring repeated statements and objections from China, unilaterally included Chinese companies in its sanctions list and imposed fines on two Chinese financial institutions based on unfounded accusations.
China has consistently opposed unilateral sanctions that have no basis in international law and are not sanctioned by the UN Security Council, the representative of the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China emphasized.
According to him, the EU's actions contradict the consensus reached between the leaders of China and the EU and will have a serious negative impact on trade and economic ties and financial cooperation between the two sides.
China calls on the EU to immediately stop the wrong practice of including Chinese enterprises and financial institutions on the sanctions list, the ministry spokesman said, adding that the Chinese side will take necessary measures to resolutely protect the legitimate rights and interests of domestic companies and financial institutions. -0-
