China says 'opposes' new US sanctions on Russian oil for Ukraine war
China said Thursday it "opposes" recent sanctions slapped by the United States on Russia's two largest oil companies over Moscow's war in Ukraine, saying they had "no basis in international law".
At the same press conference, foreign ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun criticized sanctions on Russia agreed Wednesday by the European Union -- whose targets included Chinese companies -- insisting that "China is neither the creator of the Ukraine crisis nor a party to it".
