Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM), May 11, in response to the EU's accusation that seven Chinese companies have sold microelectronics and other products that may be used to support the war to Russia, and proposed sanctions, Ministry of Commerce spokeswoman Shu Pingting said at a regular press conference on the 11th: I hope the European side will cherish the overall situation of mutual trust and cooperation between China and the EU. Be careful not to set a bad precedent. The European Union recently proposed sanctions against seven Chinese companies for the first time since the outbreak of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine on the grounds that the equipment sold to Russia could be used for military purposes, the Financial Times reported on the 7th. The German newspaper Berlin Daily said that so far, the European Union has avoided sanctions against China because there is no concrete evidence that Beijing supports Moscow in weapons and war technology. But that view seems to have changed within the European Commission. According to the report, the European Commission declared in the sanctions proposal that "the application of electronic components has played a key role in the process of Russian military and industrial complex supporting Russian military operations against Ukraine." In view of this, it is appropriate to include specific Russian entities that develop, produce and supply electronic components for the Russian military-industrial complex, as well as certain other entities of third countries involved in circumventing trade restrictions. " There is a view that the gestation of this move by the EU may mean a major change in EU policy. Shu Pingting said on the afternoon of the 11th that China and Russia carry out normal economic and trade cooperation on the basis of mutual respect and mutual benefit. The Chinese authorities have repeatedly stated China's position on the Ukraine issue, and China will not pour oil into the fire, let alone take advantage of the opportunity to profit. We firmly oppose unilateral sanctions and long-arm jurisdiction over China without the basis of international law and without the authorization of the Security Council on the grounds of Sino-Russian cooperation.
