Following Russia: US "sanction hammer" hits China

4
China strongly condemned the sanctions imposed by the United States against a number of Chinese companies and citizens. February 23, Washington announced the introduction of regular sanctions against individuals and structures associated with the DPRK.



This time, 27 shipping and transport companies and 28 ships from China, Singapore and Taiwan, as well as 1 individual, were sanctioned. For the United States, sanctions are another way to put pressure on both the DPRK and countries that continue to cooperate with Pyongyang.

North Korea, in turn, sees sanctions as a “war," and Beijing is very concerned about the unilateral imposition of sanctions against Chinese companies and consider this a big mistake for Washington.

The imposition of sanctions against Chinese companies, according to the PRC, will adversely affect bilateral relations between the United States and China. Nobody gives Washington the right to extend American jurisdiction to companies, courts, and citizens of other states. However, apparently, the lifting of sanctions by the United States will not follow - not for that Donald Trump “rattles his arms” in order to compromise after Beijing’s first protest and refuse policy pressure.

    There are few sanctions against China, Trump is very afraid of them. I would like much more so that China would finally appreciate that Russia should cooperate in rebuffing the United States. And then he hid - it seems not to be our business, it does not concern us and is wonderful.

      Well, the United States is unlikely to introduce serious sanctions; the interdependence of economies is too high

    The Chinese thought they would sit out on their "shore".
