BEIJING, May 6 (Bernama-Xinhua) -- China has consistently opposed unilateral sanctions that lack a basis in international law or authorisation from the United Nations Security Council, a Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson said on Wednesday, reported Xinhua.
Beijing has lodged solemn representations with the UK side, expressing strong dissatisfaction.
Spokesperson Lin Jian made the remarks at a daily press briefing when asked to comment on the UK government's announced sanctions against entities and individuals from some countries, including two Chinese entities, on the grounds of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
Lin said that China has been committed to promoting talks for peace and strictly controlling the export of dual-use goods in relation to the Ukraine crisis, stressing that the normal exchanges and cooperation between China and Russia should not be disrupted or affected.
China will do what is necessary to firmly defend its legitimate rights and interests, he said.
