China's commerce ministry said on Wednesday that it had urged Britain to stop sanctioning Chinese firms after the country sanctioned five Chinese companies over their links to Russia.

In a statement, the ministry said China "firmly opposes Britain's actions on the grounds that the Chinese companies are "related to Russia."

Britain last week imposed its first sanctions targeting vessels in Russian President Vladimir Putin's "shadow fleet" that it said was used to circumvent Western sanctions on the trade in Russian oil.

The action, part of 50 new sanctions and coordinated with G7 partners, also targeted suppliers of munitions, machine tools, microelectronics, and logistics to Russia's military, including entities based in China, Israel, Kyrgyzstan and Turkey, the British government said.

Britain's approach has ignored China's representations and the momentum and had a negative impact on economic and trade relations between China and the UK, China's commerce ministry said.

"Britain's approach is a unilateral sanction that has no basis in international law," it added. "We urge Britain to immediately correct its erroneous practices."

World urges Beijing to stop supporting Russian-linked firms and dictators who threaten all economies and world security

The worst thing is that they took this long to do these sanctions. We should be sanctioning the shit out of Russia and not contribute to Putin's murder rampage.

I don't understand, the CCP has stated multiple times that sanctions has had multiple beneficial effects on Chinese firms such as Huawei, causing them to become more independent and effective in the face of adversity. Why stop now?
