China News Service, March 2nd. On the 2nd, at the press conference of the State Council Information Office, a reporter asked whether relevant countries have recently introduced sanctions against Russia. Will China also introduce relevant financial measures?
What impact will the relevant measures have on China's economy and finance?
Guo Shuqing said that everyone has recently paid attention to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
As far as financial sanctions are concerned, we do not agree with sanctions, especially unilaterally initiated sanctions, because they are not effective and have little legal basis.
We will not participate in such sanctions, and we continue to maintain normal economic and trade and financial exchanges with relevant parties.
As for the impact of sanctions on China's economy and finance, it does not seem to be too obvious now, and we still need to observe, but in general we don't think it will have much impact in the future, because our economy and finance are very stable and resilient.
