The United States plans to introduce a new sanctions bill to impose up to 100% tariffs on Russian energy buyers. China and India are included. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded.

On July 15, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Lin Jian hosted a regular press conference. A reporter from Bloomberg News asked that the United States is pushing for the introduction of a new sanctions bill against Russia.

It will list the top five buyers of Russian crude oil and natural gas, including China and India, as sanctions targets, authorizing Trump to impose tariffs of up to 100% on these countries. What is China’s comment on this?

Lin Jian said that China firmly opposes illegal unilateral sanctions that have no basis in international law and are not authorized by the United Nations Security Council, and will take all necessary measures to firmly safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of its companies and citizens.

Lin Jian emphasized that "double standards" and coercion and pressure will ultimately only shoot oneself in the foot. (
