Sino-Russian normal trade cooperation should not be condemned by the U.S., and China will resolutely safeguard its legitimate rights and interests.

China's Embassy in the United States: China-Russia cooperation should not be condemned by the United States!

On Monday, Liu Pengyu, a spokesperson for China's Embassy in the United States, commented on a bill proposed by the U.S. Senate, stating that normal trade and cooperation between China and Russia should not be condemned by the U.S. side. The U.S. Senate bill falsely accused China of supporting Russia's special military operation in Ukraine.

"China has always maintained an impartial and objective position on the Ukraine crisis and is committed to a political solution. China does not provide lethal weapons to any party in the conflict and strictly controls the export of dual-use products."

"Like other countries, China conducts normal economic and trade cooperation with Russia on the basis of equality and mutual benefit. This is reasonable and should not be condemned. We firmly oppose the U.S. abuse of unilateral sanctions and extraterritorial jurisdiction. China will closely monitor the development of the situation and resolutely safeguard its legitimate rights and interests."

On August 1, Democratic Senator Janine S. Shaheen and Republican Senator John Cornyn submitted a bill allowing sanctions against Chinese individuals and entities who support Russia.
