Beijing criticises US sanctions for Russian weapons

Washington announced yesterday evening that it had sanctioned for the first time a foreign entity for the purchase of Russian weapons, rather it is about a Chinese Army unit, which has bought fighter aircraft and ground-air rockets.

This US gesture seriously violates the fundamental principles of international relations and seriously undermines relations between their two countries and armies”, Chinese diplomacy spokesman Geng Shuang said during a press conference, stressing that Beijing had immediately presented its protests in Washington.

“We strongly urge the US to correct this error immediately and withdraw so-called sanctions. Otherwise, the US must pay the consequences”, he warned.
