The United States is pressuring the G7 and NATO countries to stop China from buying Russian oil. Beijing, for its part, has promised to retaliate against NATO countries if they impose tariffs on Chinese products in an attempt to stop Russia's oil exports.
The official representative of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, Lin Jian, warned Western countries about this during a briefing.
He pointed out that China's trade, economic and energy cooperation with other countries, including the Russian Federation, is in accordance with international law and cannot cause any criticism. And if Western countries give in to US pressure and impose duties on China due to oil imports from Russia, China will take the most decisive countermeasures.
In case of violation of China's legitimate rights, it will take decisive countermeasures
- Lin Jian said.
He described Washington's actions as unilateral intimidation and economic coercion. The diplomat accused the US of undermining the international trade system, and also that the White House threatens the security and stability of global production and supply ties.
Earlier, US President Donald Trump reproached European allies for not being tough enough with Russia. He called on them to stop buying Russian oil themselves and to impose sanctions on China if it continues to import hydrocarbons from Russia.
