China issued a sharply worded warning to the European Union on Monday against sanctioning Chinese companies that do business with Russia.
“We urge the EU not to go on this wrong path. Otherwise, China will take firm actions to safeguard our legitimate and lawful rights and interests,” said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin.
According to him, the European Commission has proposed measures against seven Chinese companies in the next EU sanctions package.
The companies have allegedly supplied Russia with products that can be used in weapons by the Russian military.
