The EU imposed sanctions on 14 Chinese entities for their involvement in Russia's war in Ukraine, prompting China's retaliatory measures.
China has added fourteen European organizations to its export control list in retaliation for the European Union's sanctions against Chinese firms over their involvement in Russia's war in Ukraine. The Chinese Commerce Ministry announced that Chinese companies are barred from exporting dual-use items to these European entities, and foreign companies are also prohibited from supplying Chinese-made dual-use items to them. The targeted European companies include Tatra Trucks (Czech Republic), Lafert SpA (Italy), Sindlhauser Materials GmbH (Germany), and Cavok UAS (France). A spokesperson for the Chinese Commerce Ministry stated that these measures aim to safeguard China's national security and interests in response to the EU's "egregious actions." Meanwhile, China also announced a 20% individual income tax on assets in offshore trusts to close a loophole used by wealthy citizens.
The EU had previously sanctioned 14 Chinese and Hong Kong enterprises for their roles in supporting Russia's military efforts in Ukraine. China's response reflects the escalating tensions between China and the Western bloc over the Ukraine conflict and trade policies.
