According to a message on the website of the Ministry of Commerce on the 23rd, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce responded to a journalist's question regarding the listing of Chinese companies by the EU in the 19th round of sanctions against Russia.
Question: On October 23, the EU announced that it had listed Chinese companies in the 19th round of sanctions against Russia, and for the first time imposed sanctions on large Chinese oil refining plants and petroleum traders. What is China's comment on this?
Answer: The EU, ignoring repeated consultations and advice from China, has once again listed Chinese companies in the 19th round of sanctions against Russia, and for the first time imposed sanctions on large Chinese oil refining plants and petroleum traders. China is strongly dissatisfied and firmly opposes this.
China has always opposed unilateral sanctions without legal basis under international law and not authorized by the United Nations. The EU's actions go against the spirit of consensus between Chinese and European leaders, seriously undermining the overall situation of Sino-European economic and trade cooperation, and impacting global energy security. China urges the EU to immediately stop listing Chinese companies and not to go further down the wrong path. China will take necessary measures to resolutely safeguard the legitimate and proper rights and interests of Chinese enterprises, and resolutely safeguard its own energy security and economic development.
