Ukraine is taking a hard line with us! After Trump stated his continued support for Ukraine's military, Ukraine turned around and imposed sanctions on us! On July 8, according to foreign media reports, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy signed an order stating that five companies registered in China were sanctioned. These companies are accused of supplying parts for the Russian "Witness" type drones used in attacks on Ukraine.
Ukrainian President's Sanctions Commissioner Frashuk told journalists that Russia's increasing weapons production is benefiting from the supply of Chinese components and materials. Obviously, as soon as the United States expressed its continued support for Ukraine's military, Ukraine became tough with us. Ukraine seems to be showing that it now has the confidence to put pressure on us.
We have always strictly controlled dual-use products. The so-called claim that we supply weapons components to Russia is nothing more than a malicious defamation against us. It is not beneficial to Ukraine to deal with us in this way. In fact, facing Ukraine's unfriendly actions, we have multiple ways to respond. First, due to Ukraine's unfriendly actions, we can reduce the import of Ukrainian products.
Secondly, we can also add individuals in Ukraine who are unfriendly to us to the sanction list. Thirdly, our companies can also choose not to cooperate with Ukraine. Of course, given the significant differences in Sino-European relations due to the Ukraine-Russia issue, it is not ruled out that Ukraine is timing this to play a role for Europe, giving Europe a new excuse to exert pressure on us. However, regardless of the circumstances, Ukraine's actions will inevitably come at a cost.
