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-

BEIJING, July 21 (Xinhua) — An innovative customs clearance model that exempts cargo from transshipment after it enters the border crossing was officially launched at the Baktu Port of Tacheng County in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region on Sunday, the Xinjiang Daily reported.

This model allows the company to submit a customs declaration to the customs service at the point of departure of the goods or during transportation, which will perform a number of operations in advance, including verification of the declaration and risk analysis. Then the truck will be able to undergo customs clearance at an accelerated pace upon arrival at the control site at the border crossing, which will significantly reduce the storage and waiting time.

By implementing this model at the Baktu checkpoint, customs clearance time can be reduced from 3-4 hours to less than 10 minutes.

The new model will also reduce the company's operating costs, said Yao Fei, an official at a Xinjiang-based trading firm.

According to the results of the first five months of this year, 292 thousand tons of cargo were imported and exported through the Baktu checkpoint, which is 3.7 percent more than a year earlier, according to data from the Urumqi Customs Office.

This customs clearance model was first put into operation in Xinjiang at Alashankou Port in November 2023. Based on the successful experience, Urumqi Customs is working to expand this model to other border crossings in Xinjiang. -0-

Iranian FM warns EU3 countries against renewing sanctions

TEHRAN, July 21 (Xinhua) — Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Sunday warned that Britain, France and Germany (the EU3 countries) should not undermine the credibility of the UN Security Council by triggering a "sanctions snapback mechanism" against Tehran.

A. Araghchi, in a post on the X social network, said these countries do not have the “legal, political and moral authority” to invoke the provisions of the 2015 nuclear deal or UN Security Council Resolution 2231, which allow for the reimposition of international sanctions if Iran is found to be in non-compliance with the agreement.

He noted that after the US withdrawal from the nuclear agreement /Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action/ in 2018, Iran exhausted dispute resolution mechanisms before taking steps to correct the situation, and the EU3 countries failed to fulfill their obligations and even supported the US “maximum pressure” policy.

“The EU3 countries must refrain from any actions that will only deepen differences in the Security Council or have serious negative consequences for its work,” Araghchi said, noting that Iran is ready for “meaningful diplomacy,” but will resist hostile measures.

Earlier in the day, media reported that Iran and the six international mediators had agreed to resume talks on Tehran's nuclear program.

The semi-official Tasnim news agency cited an “informed source” as saying that Iran and the six were holding consultations on the date and venue of the talks. The upcoming talks are expected to be held at the deputy foreign minister level. –0–
