Chinese officials have responded harshly to a statement by the United States that the Americans may impose restrictions on PRC companies that would help Russia circumvent US sanctions
“China will react harshly if US sanctions are imposed on it because of Ukraine. I want to stress that sanctions will not help solve the Ukrainian issue. Time has long proved that sanctions not only fail to solve problems, but also create new ones, which will not only lead to mutual losses and multiple economic losses, but also hinder the process of political settlement”, – said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian.
