The Chinese Ministry of Commerce said on Monday that China strongly opposes the United States imposing sanctions on Chinese companies for reasons related to Russia.
The ministry said in a statement on its website that China will take necessary measures to protect the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies.
The Biden administration on Friday announced new trade restrictions on 93 entities from Russia, China, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, Kyrgyzstan, India and South Korea to support Russia's war effort in Ukraine.
The measure, which came a day before the second anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, bans US shipments to targeted entities, including eight from China, 63 from Russia, 16 from Turkey, and four from the United Arab Emirates.
