On October 23, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Guo Jiakun hosted a regular press conference. A reporter asked questions about the illegal unilateral sanctions imposed by some European countries on Chinese companies on the grounds of involvement in Russia.

Guo Qianquan said that the European side initiated illegal unilateral sanctions against Chinese enterprises on the grounds of involvement in Russia, China is strongly dissatisfied and resolutely opposed to this, and has put forward strict negotiations with the European side.The European side is not qualified to say anything about the normal exchanges and cooperation between Chinese and Russian enterprises.We urge the European side to stop taking China's words and harm China's interests, which is not conducive to the healthy and stable development of China-European relations.
