AFP: Last night, the EU imposed what it called severe sanctions on Russia in response to the invasion of Ukraine. Does China support these sanctions? And do you not think you risk damaging relations with your European partners by not coming out and explicitly condemning Russia?
Wang Wenbin: What is the result of sanctions? I believe we are no stranger to that. The US has imposed sanctions on Russia for more than 100 times since 2011. Facts show that sanctions are never the fundamental or effective way to solve problems. They will only bring serious difficulties to the economy and people’s livelihood of relevant countries and regions. We hope relevant parties will think about it carefully and strive to solve the problem through dialogue and consultation
