Sanctions are not effective ways to solve problems: FM(1/2)

A Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson on Monday urged the United States to take China's concerns seriously when handling the Ukraine issue and its relations with Russia and avoid undermining China's legitimate rights and interests. Spokesperson Wang Wenbin made the remarks at a daily press briefing in response to a query about U.S. sanctions imposed on Russia. Wang said that sanctions are not effective ways to solve problems and China stands firm against unilateral sanctions and long-arm jurisdictions with no basis in international law and no mandate of the UN Security Council.
