China slams sanctions for not resolving but creating problems; normal trade with Russia to continue

Описание: AFP: Just a clarification on your answer to my earlier question, is China concerned about any potential sanctions from the US if the situation develops? The US has said that they are watching for any actions on the Chinese side. So is China concerned about potential sanctions and is that part of the consideration in whether or not it could provide assistance to Russia if there is such a request being made as media reports have suggested? 

Zhao Lijian: China has stated its position on sanctions on multiple occasions. China does not agree with resolving issues with sanctions, still less unilateral sanctions that lack the basis of international law. Reality has long proven that sanctions not only fail to resolve problems, but will create new ones. It will result in a situation where multiple players lose, and will disrupt the process of political settlement. The world economy is facing enough difficulties already. Sanctions will only create shocks to world economic recovery and do no good to any parties. We strongly urge the US not to undermine the interests of China and other parities when handling the relations with Russia. China and Russia will continue to conduct normal economic and trade cooperation in the spirit of mutual respect, equality and mutual benefits.
