Message from the Chinese Embassy in the UK: On October 15, a spokesperson for the Chinese Embassy in the UK responded to questions from journalists 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, citing reasons such as supporting Russian energy entities and providing key items to Russia's military industry, including 11 Chinese entities. What is your comment on this?
Spokesperson of the Embassy: The UK's relevant sanctions are unilateralist actions without basis in international law, which harm the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises. China firmly opposes this and has seriously lodged representations with the UK side.
I would like to reiterate that on the issue of the Ukraine crisis, China has always adhered to 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 laws and regulations. Normal exchanges and cooperation between Chinese and Russian enterprises should not be disturbed or affected. China will never accept any blame-shifting or scapegoating, and resolutely oppose any defamation or smearing.
We urge the UK to immediately correct its mistake and revoke the sanctions against the relevant Chinese entities. Any act that harms China's interests will be met with a firm response from China.
