China Rejects US Russia Sanctions Bill, Warns Against Disrupting Bilateral Ties
Beijing's Foreign Ministry says it opposes 'long-arm jurisdiction' with no basis in international law, urging Washington not to harm China-US relations.
China has pushed back against a United States bill imposing sanctions related to Russia, with a Foreign Ministry spokesman saying Beijing opposes what it described as unilateral extraterritorial measures.
According to a report by Anadolu Agency, the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman said Beijing "always opposes long-arm jurisdiction that has no basis in international law or authority of the UN Security Council."
The spokesman said China's position reflects concern that such sanctions bills could disrupt bilateral relations between China and the United States, according to the report.
The statement comes amid ongoing US legislative efforts targeting entities connected to Russia, though specific details of the bill's provisions were not fully outlined in the available report.
China has previously criticized what it characterizes as unilateral sanctions imposed by Western countries, arguing that such measures should require authorization from the UN Security Council to have legitimacy under international law.
The Anadolu Agency report did not specify further details on the scope of the US sanctions bill or timeline for its consideration in the American legislative process.
