China will continue normal economic and trade cooperation with both Russia and Ukraine based on mutual respect and mutual benefit, said Gao Feng, spokesman of the Ministry of Commerce at a briefing Thursday.

“China opposes any form of unilateral sanctions and long-arm jurisdiction that have no basis in international law,” said Gao, when asked to comment on U.S. politicians’ warning of consequences if China helped Russia evade sanctions. He added that economic sanctions will disrupt the global market, and make the already slowing world economy even worse. Beijing will take necessary measures to safeguard the normal trade interests of Chinese companies, said Gao.
