Hi there! 🌟 Let’s talk about some important news between China and the European Union (EU). Recently, the EU decided to add some Chinese companies and people to a list of sanctions because of Russia. But what does that mean?
First, a sanction is kind of like a punishment. When countries are unhappy with each other, they might use sanctions to show their disapproval. The EU has been placing sanctions on Russia, and now they’ve included some Chinese companies and individuals in their latest list.
China’s Ministry of Commerce is worried about this. They say that adding Chinese companies and people to the sanctions list could harm the trade relationship between China and the EU. Trade is when countries buy and sell things to each other, and it’s important for everyone!
China believes that these sanctions are not fair because they weren’t approved by the United Nations Security Council, which is a group that makes important decisions for countries around the world. China prefers to solve problems through talking and peaceful discussions.
The ministry also said that China will take necessary steps to protect the rights and interests of Chinese businesses. They hope that the EU will stop adding Chinese companies and people to the sanctions list.
It’s important for countries to work together and find peaceful solutions! 🌍✌️
