The Global Times reported that Hua Chunying said at a regular press conference on Wednesday (23rd):

2022-02-23 When European and American countries sanctioned Russia, the Chinese government expressed its opposition to any illegal unilateral sanctions. Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying even raised four rhetorical questions, arguing that sanctions would not help solve the problem.

The Global Times reported that Hua Chunying said at a regular press conference on Wednesday (23rd): We believe that sanctions have never been a fundamental and effective way to solve problems. China always opposes any illegal unilateral sanctions. "

Hua Chunying said that data from the U.S. Treasury Department shows that the number of sanctions imposed by the United States in the past 20 years has increased by 10 times compared with the previous one.

Hua Chunying said that since 2011, the United States has imposed sanctions on Russia more than 100 times. "But we can all think about it or discuss it with peace of mind. Has the U.S. sanctions solved the problem? The world has changed because of the U.S. sanctions. Is it better? Will the Ukrainian problem be solved naturally due to the US sanctions on Russia? Will the security of Europe become more secure due to the US sanctions on Russia?”
