China has voiced firm opposition to the UK’s decision to include 11 Chinese enterprises in its sanctions under the pretext of so-called “Russia-related” issues, a spokesperson for China’s Ministry of Commerce said Monday.
In response to a media query, the spokesperson said that normal exchanges and cooperation between Chinese and Russian companies should not be disrupted or affected.
