China's Commerce Ministry ⚖️ expressed strong opposition against the EU listing four Chinese firms in the bloc's 13th sanctions package against Russia 🇨🇳🇪🇺🇷🇺. According to the ministry, these unilateral sanctions and \"long-arm jurisdiction\" lack a basis in international law and have no mandate from the UN Security Council.
\"This act runs counter to the spirit of the consensus reached at the China-EU summit and will have a negative impact on China-EU economic and trade relations,\" stated the Commerce Ministry.
China urged the EU to consider the overall interests of the China-EU comprehensive strategic partnership and vowed to resolutely safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises. This development underscores the ongoing tensions in international trade and the complex dynamics between major global players 🌍💬✨.
