According to the website of the Chinese Embassy in the UK, on October 15, the spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy in the UK responded to journalists' questions regarding the UK's sanctions against Chinese entities.
Reporter: On October 15, the UK government announced sanctions against some entities and individuals of certain countries, including 11 Chinese entities, citing reasons such as supporting Russian energy entities and providing key items for Russia's military industry. What is your comment on this?
Spokesperson of the Embassy: The UK's relevant sanctions are unilateral actions without any basis in international law, which damage the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises. China firmly opposes this and has made serious representations to the UK.
I would like to reiterate that on the issue of the Ukraine crisis, China has always maintained an objective and fair position, and has always been committed to promoting peace talks. China has always strictly controlled the export of dual-use items according to law. Normal exchanges and cooperation between Chinese and Russian enterprises should not be disturbed or affected. China will not accept any blame-shifting, and resolutely opposes any defamation and smearing.
We urge the UK to immediately correct its mistake and revoke the sanctions against the relevant Chinese entities. Any action that harms China's interests will be met with a firm response from China.
