By toeing Washington's line on China, Tokyo will harm itself

China Daily  

File photo of Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida. The Fumio Kishida government announced sanctions against some foreign entities, including several Chinese companies, for their alleged support to Russia in the Ukraine crisis on Friday. Under the framework of international law, China has the right to carry out normal economic and trade cooperation with all countries, including Russia. China firmly opposes unilateral sanctions that have no basis in international law, and that normal economic and trade cooperation China conducts with Russia on the basis of equality and mutual benefit is its legitimate right and should not be distorted. In disregard of China's solemn position, Japan insists on following the US' lead in imposing illegal sanctions on Chinese companies, which will inevitably invite corresponding measures from China.
