Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun presided over the regular press conference on September 17, 2026. A foreign media reporter asked at the meeting that the US Congress has finally approved a bill giving US President Trump new powers to impose tariffs on countries that purchase Russian oil products. What is China's comment on this?

Guo Jiakun stated that China has always engaged in normal economic and trade cooperation with countries around the world on the basis of equality and mutual benefit. The cooperation is neither targeted at third parties nor subject to interference or coercion from third parties. We have always opposed long arm jurisdiction without international legal basis and without authorization from the United Nations Security Council.Editor/Min Jing
