Beijing on Saturday protested U.S. sanctions against additional Chinese companies over their alleged attempts to evade U.S. export controls on Russia, calling it an illegal move that endangers global supply chains.
The U.S. Commerce Department on Wednesday put five firms based in mainland China and Hong Kong on its "entity list," barring them from trading with any U.S. firms without gaining a nearly unobtainable special license.
"It is a typical unilateral sanction and a form of `long-arm jurisdiction' which seriously damages the legitimate rights and interests of enterprises and affects the security and stability of the global supply chain. China firmly opposes this," the statement said. The list identifies entities -- essentially businesses -- that the U.S. suspects "have been involved, are involved, or pose a significant risk of being or becoming involved in activities contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States," the department said.
The department said the company supplied Russia's Wagner Group private army affiliates with satellite imagery of Ukraine that support Wagner's military operations there. A Luxembourg-based subsidiary of Spacety China was also targeted. China has refused to criticize Russia's actions, blasted Western economic sanctions on Moscow, maintained trade ties and affirmed a "no limits" relationship between the countries just weeks before last year's invasion.
