Beijing on Saturday, April 15, 2023 protested Washington's placement of additional Chinese companies on a sanctions list over their their alleged attempts to evade U.S. export controls on Russia, calling it an illegal move that endangers global supply chains. – Beijing on Saturday protested U.S.
A statement from China's Commerce Ministry said the U.S. action “has no basis in international law and is not authorized by the United Nations Security Council.” The latest sanctions were leveled against Allparts Trading Co., Ltd.; Avtex Semiconductor Limited; ETC Electronics Ltd.; Maxtronic International Co., Ltd.; and STK Electronics Co., Ltd., registered in Hong Kong.
The Chinese protest was similar to one issued in February after the U.S. announced sanctions against the Chinese company Changsha Tianyi Space Science and Technology Research Institute Co. Ltd., also known as Spacety China. China has refused to criticize Russia's actions, blasted Western economic sanctions on Moscow, maintained trade ties and affirmed a “no limits” relationship between the countries just weeks before last year's invasion.
