China Condemns U.S. Sanctions on Firms Allegedly Aiding Russia
Beijing vows to defend its companies after the U.S. adds 42 Chinese entities to the export control list.
- China's Ministry of Commerce calls U.S. sanctions an example of 'unilateral sanctions and long-arm jurisdiction.'
- The U.S. Commerce Department added 123 entities, including 42 from China, to the export control list to block advanced technology from reaching Russia.
- The sanctioned Chinese firms are accused of helping Russia acquire U.S. technology for military use.
- Inclusion on the Entity List severely restricts companies' access to U.S. goods and can lead to broader international blacklisting.
- Beijing threatens to take 'necessary measures' to protect the interests of Chinese enterprises.
