(ECNS) -- China firmly opposed the United States’ unilateral sanctions and "long-arm jurisdiction", which lacks basis in international law and are not authorized by the United Nations Security Council, said a spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce (MOC) stated on Thursday.
China enforces strict control measures on the export of military and dual-use products, requiring companies to comply with laws and regulations when trading controlled items, said, MOC spokesperson He Yadong in response to a question about U.S. sanctions on Chinese drone-related entities at a press conference.
He noted that since the start of the Ukraine crisis, China has issued several announcements regarding drone export controls, clearly stipulating that non-controlled civilian drones must not be used for military purposes in violation of regulations.
Relevant departments have strengthened their review and approval processes for drone export permits in accordance with the law, and have stepped up their efforts to crack down on illegal exports, He added.
China will resolutely defend its legitimate rights and interests against malicious acts that sanction or suppress Chinese companies under the pretext of Russia-related issues, the spokesperson said.
