Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Mao Ning commented on the statement of US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen about the consequences for Chinese companies for helping Russia. According to Mao Ning, Beijing has always controlled the export of dual-use goods in accordance with law and regulations.

“Relevant countries should not denigrate or attack the normal state relations between China and Russia,” the diplomat stressed. Earlier, Vice Premier of the State Council of China He Lifeng expressed concern about the increasing restrictions of the American authorities in trade and economic relations.
