The EU's sanctions against Russia may involve Chinese companies, and China has responded.

On June 10th, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lian Jian presided over a regular press conference. A foreign journalist asked about the statement made by the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Josep Borrell, saying that the new round of sanctions against Russia may also target companies located in China, Turkey, India, and other countries. What is China's response to this? Lian Jian stated that China consistently opposes unilateral sanctions that lack international legal basis and are not authorized by the UN Security Council. China has repeatedly lodged solemn representations with the EU, urging them to correct their mistaken actions and withdraw the illegal unilateral sanctions. "China will closely monitor the situation and take necessary measures to resolutely defend its legitimate rights and interests," said Lian Jian.
