The Defense Ministry said the U.S. had no right to interfere in Chinese military cooperation with Russia. ADVERTISEMENT“We demand that the U.S. immediately correct the mistake and revoke the so-called sanctions, otherwise the U.S. must bear the consequences,” the Defense Ministry said in a statement. “The Chinese military reserves the right to take further countermeasures,” Huang was quoted as saying. ADVERTISEMENTThe Kremlin dismissed the sanctions as an “unfair” move to undercut Russia as a major arms exporter. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Friday that Russia views the new set of sanctions as an attempt to undermine the competitiveness of Russian arms exports and vowed to reciprocate.
