She recalled the sanctions imposed against Russia by a number of countries, which creates obstacles for Chinese-Russian trade and economic cooperation.

“Some foreign companies violate the normal principles of market interaction and put pressure on Chinese enterprises, requiring them to “pick sides”.

The official representative of the department stressed that Beijing does not intend to join the unilateral sanctions that were imposed against Russia without the consent of the UN.

Earlier, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said that the country voted to suspend Russia's membership in the UN Human Rights Council due to pressure and blackmail from the West.

In March, he announced that Serbia was not joining the anti-Russian sanctions of the West on the principle of reciprocity, and also because of the agreement on gas supplies and support for Kosovo.
