US EditionChina condemns EU's inclusion of Chinese entities in sanctions package against Russia
China said the listings undermine mutual trust and warned of further measures after Beijing retaliated with export controls on seven EU defence firms.
- On Saturday, China's Ministry of Commerce formally condemned the European Union's 20th sanctions package, which designated approximately 27 Chinese and Hong Kong entities for supplying dual-use goods to Russia.
- Brussels accused these entities of providing dual-use supplies to the Russian military, prompting Beijing to warn that the move "seriously undermines mutual trust and the overall stability of bilateral relations."
- Beijing retaliated within 24 hours by placing seven European Union defense firms on its own export control list, framing the action as a response to "arms sales to or collusion with Taiwan."
- The European Union faces a structural contradiction: its defense buildup depends on nearly $1 billion in startup investment, yet relies on rare earth magnets that China dominates and can restrict.
- European Union High Representative for Foreign Affairs Kaja Kallas has already announced work on a 21st sanctions package, while Beijing warns the bloc will "bear all consequences" for the escalating restrictions.
