China’s response to the proposed Russian oil embargo

Posted on by नेपाल राष्ट्रिय दैनिक

China has opposed a bill introduced by US Senator Marco Rubio to punish Beijing for buying oil from Moscow.

Beijing opposed a proposal by US Senator Marco Rubio to ban any entity that buys oil or other energy supplies from Russia and delivers them to China. Speaking at a regular press conference, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said, “China has always been against unilateral and illegal sanctions that have no basis in international law.” He also said that the general economic and trade cooperation between China and Russia is not against any third party and it will not be affected by any kind of external interference. He also said that Senator Rubio, who knows no political ethics, wants to blame China for everything.

The anti-China proposal, introduced by Rubio along with fellow Republicans Rick Scott and Kevin Cramer, aims to punish any entity that insures or registers tankers carrying oil or liquefied natural gas from Russia to China.
