China Criticizes New US Sanctions Law Targeting Russia and Iran
Beijing says it opposes unilateral sanctions not authorized by the UN Security Council, according to a report by Russian news agency TASS.
China has criticized a new law passed in the United States that tightens sanctions against Russia and Iran, according to a report published by the Russian state news agency TASS.
The report cited an unspecified statement from Chinese officials saying Beijing "consistently opposes unilateral sanctions that lack authorization from the UN" Security Council.
TASS did not provide further details on the specific provisions of the new US law or the timing of its passage in its report.
China has previously voiced similar objections to unilateral sanctions imposed by Western countries, arguing that such measures should require approval from the UN Security Council rather than being enacted by individual nations.
