Beijing: The US has banned several Chinese defense manufacturing companies for allegedly helping Russia in the war against Ukraine. This has infuriated China. After this action, China protested the new US sanctions imposed on Chinese companies over their alleged links with Russia’s war in Ukraine and said that it would take necessary steps to protect the rights and interests of the country’s businesses. The US on Friday announced sanctions on hundreds of companies in Russia and Europe, Asia and West Asia, accusing them of providing products and services that helped Russia in the war and increased its ability to avoid sanctions.
The US State Department said it was concerned about the “export of dual-use goods” from China to Russia. In its statement, the Ministry of Commerce in China strongly opposed the US placing several Chinese companies on its export control list. This move will prevent such companies from doing business with American companies.
China called the US action unilateral
The ministry said the US action was a “unilateral sanction” and would disrupt global trade and rules and would also affect the stability of global industrial and supply chains. It said, “China urges the US to immediately stop wrongful actions and will take necessary measures to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies.” According to the US State Department, some China-based companies supplied machine parts and other components to Russian companies.
