Lodge a solemn protest! China urges the UK to withdraw sanctions against Chinese companies.

On December 9, the United Kingdom announced sanctions on two Chinese technology companies, citing that they "had launched cyber attacks against the UK and its allies." "The UK is colluding with the US, deliberately smearing China and imposing illegal unilateral sanctions on Chinese entities, which is extremely malicious in nature." The Chinese embassy in the UK staunchly opposed the UK's actions on the 9th and made solemn representations. The Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson stated on the 10th that China firmly opposes the dissemination of false information for political purposes.
