The
People's Republic of China warned that it will take all necessary measures to “
firmly protect the legitimate rights and interests” of its companies in the United Kingdom, in
response to the sanctions imposed by the European country.
In a statement, officials from the Embassy of the Asian nation in London
warned “the British side that China will oppose in
stronger terms any action that harms China's interests”.
The text states
that the United Kingdom's sanctions against Chinese companies are unilateral and are
not based on international law, stressing that China has always
maintained an objective and fair position on the situation surrounding Ukraine and
has actively promoted peace negotiations and a political solution.
The United Kingdom
announced on Thursday more than 50 new sanctions against individuals and entities from
various sectors for Russia's special military operation in Ukraine. The
companies Finder Technology, JUHANG Aviation Technology (Shenzhen) and Beijing
Micropilot Flight Control Systems, were sanctioned as part of the anti-Russian measures.
In addition, the
new sanctions also affect the Turkish company Cozum Yazilim Donanim
Elektronik and two Belarusian entities, Planar and Precise Electro-Mechanics Plant, Sputnik reports on its website.
