China threatened the United States "consequences" due to sanctions for relations with Russia

China made a sharp performance of the United States because of the sanctions imposed on the eve of military cooperation with Russia, said the official representative of the country's Foreign Ministry Gen Shuan. His words are given by RIA Novosti .

The diplomat noted that new sanctions undermine relations between Chinese and American armed forces and violate the basic principles of international relations. “We will continue with the Russian side to realize the consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries, and we will raise strategic interaction between the two countries to a new level,” he concluded.

According to BBC , the Chinese Foreign Ministry demanded to cancel the sanctions or "face the consequences of the refusal." Recall that Washington on Thursday announced the introduction of 27 individuals and six legal entities from Russia related to intelligence services and defense institutions. The sanctions were introduced as a response to the alleged intervention of Russia in the election of the American president in 2016.

At the same time, the United States first imposed “secondary sanctions” for transactions with Russia regarding the third state of China . The accounts of the Military Council of the PRC and its head Lee the chance in the United States will freeze, and all banking operations will be blocked. The reason for this was the acquisition by Beijing from Moscow Su-35 and S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems. Restrictions are reduced to freezing the assets of the Department and its head in case of discovery in the US financial system, a ban on issuing entry visas, a refusal to export American military equipment.
