China News Service, Beijing (Reporter Xing Chong) Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Lin Jian hosted a regular press conference on the 10th.

A reporter asked: EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Karas said that the new round of sanctions against Russia may include targeting companies in China, Turkey, India and other countries. What is China’s comment on this?

Lin Jian: China has always firmly opposed illegal unilateral sanctions that lack the basis of international law and are not authorized by the United Nations Security Council. We have made stern representations to the EU on many occasions, urging the EU to correct its wrong practices and withdraw illegal unilateral sanctions. China will pay close attention to relevant trends and will take necessary measures to resolutely safeguard its legitimate rights and interests. (End)
