On December 12th, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun presided over a regular press conference. A reporter asked, recently the US military detained an oil tanker transporting Venezuelan oil in the waters near Venezuela, and the US Treasury Department also announced sanctions on six oil tankers, including those flying the Hong Kong flag. What is China's comment on this?
Guo Jiakun stated that China firmly opposes illegal unilateral sanctions and "long arm jurisdiction" that lack international legal basis and are not authorized by the United Nations Security Council, and opposes the indiscriminate imposition of sanctions.
