China has slammed US sanctions on Chinese companies as part of its targeting of the Russian private mercenary Wagner group and its affiliates, describing them as “illegal” and accusing the US of “outright bullying and double standards”.
The sanctions “have no basis in international law or authorisation from the Security Council, and are typical illegal unilateral sanctions and long-arm jurisdiction”, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson, Mao Ning, said at a daily briefing.
The measures were “seriously harming China’s interests” and China “strongly rejects and deplores that and has lodged solemn complaints with the US side”, Mao said. She added:
While the US has intensified its efforts to send weapons to one of the parties to the conflict, resulting in an endless war, it has frequently spread false information about China’s supply of weapons to Russia, taking the opportunity to sanction Chinese companies for no reason.
This is outright bullying and double standards.
The US has sanctioned the Chinese company Changsha Tianyi Space Science and Technology Research Institute, also known as Spacety China, for providing satellite imagery of Ukraine to support the Wagner group’s combat operations for Russia. A Luxembourg-based subsidiary of Spacety China was also targeted.
