Beijing on Saturday protested U.S. sanctions against additional Chinese companies over their alleged attempts to evade U.S. export controls on Russia.
Dozens of cargo ships load and unload cargo at the Qianwan Joint Container Terminal in Qingdao Port, East China's Shandong province, April 13, 2023.Beijing on Saturday protested U.S. sanctions against additional Chinese companies over their alleged attempts to evade U.S. export controls on Russia, calling it an illegal move that endangers global supply chains.
"It is a typical unilateral sanction and a form of 'long-arm jurisdiction' which seriously damages the legitimate rights and interests of enterprises and affects the security and stability of the global supply chain. China firmly opposes this," the statement said. The list identifies entities — essentially businesses — that the U.S. suspects "have been involved, are involved, or pose a significant risk of being or becoming involved in activities contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States," the department said.
The department said the company supplied Russia's Wagner Group private army affiliates with satellite imagery of Ukraine that support Wagner's military operations there. A Luxembourg-based subsidiary of Spacety China was also targeted. China has refused to criticize Russia's actions, blasted Western economic sanctions on Moscow, maintained trade ties and affirmed a "no limits" relationship between the countries just weeks before last year's invasion.

China protests US sanctioning of firms dealing with RussiaBeijing is protesting U.S. sanctions against additional Chinese companies over their alleged attempts to evade U.S. export controls on Russia, calling it an illegal move that endangers global supply chains. The U.S. Commerce Department on Wednesday placed five firms based in mainland China and Hong Kong on its “entity list,” barring them from trading with any U.S. firms without gaining a special license. Washington has been tightening up enforcement of sanctions against foreign firms it sees as providing assistance to Russia in its Ukraine war, forcing them to choose between trading with Moscow or with the U.S. A statement from China’s Commerce Ministry said the U.S. action “has no basis in international law' and has no U.N. Security Council authorization.

China defense minister to meet Russian counterpart in MoscowChina's defense minister will visit Moscow for meetings with his Russian counterpart and other military officials. The Defense Ministry said Friday that Gen. Li Shangfu would also visit Russia's military academy during his April 16-19 visit. Li's trip underscores China's strengthening engagement with Russia, with which it has largely aligned its foreign policy to challenge the U.S.-liberal world order. China has refused to criticize Russia's invasion of Ukraine and blamed the U.S. and NATO for provoking Moscow. During a visit to Beijing last year, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese leader Xi Jinping issued a joint statement declaring a “no limits” relationship between the two countries. Li is under U.S. sanctions over arms purchases from Russia.
