China opposed to US' unilateral sanctions on Chinese entities

China today rebuffed US sanctions against Chinese entities for helping North Korea to evade nuclear restrictions, saying it was firmly opposed to such move by any country using its domestic laws other than the UN sanctions.
The United States has imposed new sanctions on 13 Chinese and North Korean organisations accusing them of helping evade nuclear restrictions against Pyongyang, a day after President Donald Trump declared it a state sponsor of terrorism.
As a permanent member of the UN Security Council, China has been comprehensively and strictly implementing North Korea related resolutions imposing sanctions, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang told media here.

"Our efforts are witnessed by all. Meanwhile, I want to stress again that we firmly oppose the long jurisdiction on Chinese entities and individuals by any country in accordance with their domestic laws because it is wrong," Lu said.
He, however, said China will take action if any entity or individual is found to be involved in activities violative of Chinese laws and international obligations.
"If other sides want to cooperate with China in constructive way and if they have any solid evidence in that regard they can share it with us and resolve the issue," he said.
"In principle, we want to reiterate we are oppose to the unilateral sanctions and long arm jurisdiction. The US is very clear about our position on that issue," he said.
