The European Union recently announced sanctions against 19 Chinese companies for their normal business dealings with Russia. However, a spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry responded quickly, emphasizing that the cooperation between China and Russia is not directed against any third party, and urging the European side to lift sanctions.

As soon as this news came out, it aroused widespread attention and heated discussions. Some commentators believe that the EU's move is influenced by the Trump administration to try to weaken China-Russia economic cooperation, but this is obviously a wrong approach.
First of all, the cooperation between China and Russia has existed for many years, and has not only achieved fruitful results in the economic field, but also has long-term cooperation in the political and security fields. This mutually beneficial and win-win partnership should not be arbitrarily undermined.
Second, sanctions on Chinese companies will not only fail to achieve the EU's so-called goals, but may cause losses to themselves. The Chinese market is huge, and Chinese companies are competitive on a global scale, and cooperating with Chinese companies is an important opportunity for European companies to expand their markets and enhance their competitiveness.
Moreover, the sanctions also relate to the relationship between the two important economies of Central Europe. China-EU trade cooperation has been developing steadily for a long time, and such sanctions will not only harm China's interests, but also lead to the erosion of mutual trust between China and the EU, adversely affecting the economic stability of Europe as a whole.
Against the backdrop of global economic instability, deepening cooperation and strengthening economic ties between China and Russia will help maintain regional peace and stability. The strong condemnation by the Chinese Foreign Ministry also shows that China will resolutely defend its legitimate rights and interests and uphold the fairness and justice of the international community.
To sum up, the EU's imposition of sanctions on Chinese enterprises is not only unpopular, but also violates international economic and trade rules and the principle of mutual benefit and win-win results. It is believed that with the joint efforts of China and Russia, this erroneous decision will eventually be revoked, and the friendship and economic cooperation between China and Russia will continue to deepen.
