China demands US lift sanctions on firm


09:46, February 12, 2013

BEIJING, Feb. 11 (Xinhua) -- The Chinese government has expressed strong opposition to U.S. sanctions on a Chinese military defense firm and urged they be lifted immediately.

The United States imposed the sanctions according to its domestic laws, an act that has seriously violated norms governing international relations and harmed China's interests, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Monday.


"We urge the United States to immediately correct the wrongdoing, lift the groundless sanctions on this company and its individuals, and stop actions that will hurt China's interests and Sino-U.S. relations," the spokesperson said.


Instead of sanction threats, the two sides should base their relationship on equality and mutual benefit, and meet each other halfway when making efforts to advance pragmatic cooperation on non-proliferation, Hua urged.
