China reiterates rejection of sanctions

During a visit to Berlin, China’s Foreign Minister Qin Gang underscored the People’s Republic’s rejection of possible EU sanctions against third countries over the Russia conflict. Qin gave assurances on Tuesday that China would not supply weapons to crisis regions and would comply with Chinese laws on dual-use goods. There are normal exchanges between Chinese and Russian companies, he said. This exchange must not be disrupted. On the contrary, it will be strictly opposed if the EU imposes unilateral sanctions on China, Qin said. „We will defend the legitimate interests of our companies and our country“.
