China Threatens Retaliation After U.S. Sanctions Chinese Firms With Alleged Russia Ties

What’s new: China has warned of “resolute countermeasures” in response to U.S. sanctions against Chinese companies for their alleged involvement with Russia’s military efforts.

The foreign ministry’s spokesperson Mao Ning said at a press briefing Monday that U.S. actions were an illegal jurisdictional overreach with no grounding in international law or the U.N. Security Council mandate.
