Foreign Ministry Spokesman Guo Jiakun presided over a regular press conference on September 17. A Bloomberg reporter asked that the US Congress has passed a bill authorizing US President Trump to impose tariffs on countries that buy Russian petroleum products. What comments does the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have on this? Guo Jiakun said that China has always carried out normal economic and trade cooperation with countries around the world on the basis of equality and mutual benefit, and related cooperation is neither aimed at third parties nor interfered with or coerced by third parties. “We have always opposed long-arm jurisdiction that has no basis in international law and is not authorized by the UN Security Council.”
