European parties should stop harming the legitimate interests of Chinese companies.

Today, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning presided over the regular press conference. A journalist asked: The EU and the UK announced new sanctions against Russia on the 20th, with Chinese and UAE companies also included in the sanctions list. Does the Foreign Ministry have any comment on this? Mao Ning said that China has always opposed unilateral sanctions without international legal basis and without authorization from the UN Security Council. China strongly opposes the unjust sanctions imposed by the EU on Chinese companies. On the issue of the Ukraine crisis, China has always been committed to urging peace and negotiations, never providing lethal weapons to conflict parties, and strictly controlling the export of dual-use items. Currently, most countries, including the EU and the US, are conducting trade with Russia. Normal communication and cooperation between Chinese and Russian companies should not be disrupted, and the EU should stop using double standards in economic and trade cooperation with Russia, and stop harming the legitimate interests of Chinese companies. China will take necessary measures to firmly defend its legitimate rights and interests.
