China has slammed the EU’s latest sanctions targeting Chinese firms and individuals tied to Russia, warning it could damage trade relations between the two economic giants. 🌍⚡️
The Ministry of Commerce called the EU’s 16th sanctions package “contrary to leader-level consensus” and urged Brussels to stop smearing China or shifting responsibility for the Ukraine crisis. “We oppose unilateral sanctions lacking legal basis,” a spokesperson stated, emphasizing China’s support for peace talks over the conflict. 💬🕊️
While pledging to protect Chinese businesses’ rights, Beijing reaffirmed its stance that diplomatic dialogue – not sanctions – is the path forward. Will this friction reshape EU-China trade dynamics? 🤔📉
