China Says Opposes US Sanctions Bill Targeting Russia Energy Buyers
Beijing called the measure illegal and said it would protect Chinese firms and citizens as senators sought stronger pressure on Moscow.
- On Wednesday, China declared it "firmly opposes" a proposed United States sanctions bill targeting countries purchasing Russian energy, a measure supported by President Donald Trump.
- Designed to exert stronger pressure on Russia regarding its war in Ukraine, the legislation would authorize tariffs of up to 500% on countries purchasing Russian oil, gas, and uranium.
- Senators including Republican Roger Wicker and Democrats Richard Blumenthal and Jeanne Shaheen lead the bipartisan effort, which has gained administration backing to overcome significant political obstacles.
- Foreign ministry spokesperson Lin Jian accused Washington of "double standards and coercion" on Wednesday, pledging that China will take necessary measures to safeguard the legitimate rights of its enterprises.
- While details remain unreleased, sponsors said last week that they expect to unveil the updated legislation "very soon," though swift passage is not guaranteed.
