It is suspected that equipment and chips from foreign companies may have been used in Russian weapons

According to Reuters, citing the Financial Times, the European Union has proposed imposing sanctions against seven Chinese and Hong Kong companies – manufacturers of electronics, chips and semiconductors – suspected of cooperating with Russia. In particular, it is reported that the products of these companies could be used in the production of Russian weapons.

The Financial Times report states that foreign companies may be included in the next, 11th package of EU sanctions against Russia. The publication also provides a list of firms: 3HC Semiconductors and King-Pai Technology from mainland China, as well as Sinno Electronics, Sigma Technology, Asia Pacific Links, Tordan Industry and Alpha Trading Investments from Hong Kong.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said that China urges the EU not to go down the "wrong path", otherwise decisive measures will be taken to protect its rights and interests.

«China opposes actions that use Sino-Russian cooperation as a pretext for imposing illegal sanctions against China», Wang said at a regular press conference.

At the same time, some companies from this list are already under US sanctions. For example, it was reported that King-Pai Technology is a supplier of products for several enterprises of the military-industrial complex of Russia.
