China rebukes Ukraine over sanctions ‘mistakes’

capital of red china has urged ukrayina to “ straight off right its mistakes” after Kiev signaled it would impose young sanctions on Chinese individuals, a spokesman from China’s Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday.
Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky said on Monday that Kiev is preparing several new sanctions packages by the end of the year targeting Russian entities and individuals, as well as foreign nationals involved in supporting Moscow’s military-industrial complex, including several from China. In May, Zelensky imposed sanctions on a Chinese firm as part of broader measures targeting 58 people and 74 firms linked to Russia’s defense industry.
“China has consistently opposed unilateral sanctions that violate international law and are not authorized by the UN Security Council,” spokesman Lin Jian said. “We urge Ukraine to immediately correct its mistakes,” he added, saying Beijing would “resolutely safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises and citizens.”
The EU and the US have also sanctioned Chinese firms and individuals they accuse of supplying Russia with dual-use goods, components, or materials used in weapons production.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry has insisted that China has never provided lethal arms to either side in the conflict and that it strictly controls exports of dual-use items. It has also said Beijing supports a ceasefire, an end to hostilities, and the promotion of peace talks.
Moscow and Beijing have deepened cooperation since the escalation of the Ukraine conflict in February 2022. The two countries describe their ties as a strategic partnership “without limits,” with bilateral trade exceeding $200 billion for a third consecutive year.
During his annual end-of-year Q&A session last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin described relations with China as stable and trusting, saying the two countries’ foreign ministries remain in regular contact and coordinate approaches on key global issues.
