This statement came in response to a statement by NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. He said that countries like Brazil, China, and India could be severely affected by secondary sanctions if they continue to do business with Russia.
China believes that dialogue and negotiations are the only viable solution to the crisis in Ukraine. We strongly oppose all illegal unilateral sanctions and long-arm jurisdiction
At the same time, the diplomat also commented on the consequences of the "tariff wars" by US President Donald Trump. He stated that "there are no winners in tariff wars."
Coercion and pressure cannot solve fundamental issues. We call on all parties to facilitate the creation of conditions conducive to a political settlement of the crisis and to make a more substantial contribution to peace talks

China "promised to strengthen its support for Russia" after US President Donald Trump threatened to impose tariffs on the Kremlin's trading partners.
