The Chinese government increases sanctions against various EU MPs, which she imposed four years ago. The relationships with the EU would currently develop well, said spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs Guo Jiakun. It is hoped that the exchange will reinforce.
Members of the European Parliament must come to China. In 2021, the Chinese government laid out the sanctions against MPs and the Subcommissie for Human Rights. This was a reaction to EU sanctions because of the oppression of the Muslim thesis of the Uigurs in the Xinjiang region. Since then, the EU members involved and their families have been forbidden to enter the mainland of China, Hong Kong and Macau. Moreover, they and companies that are connected to them are not allowed to do business with China.
The EU subsequently set an already negotiated investment agreement on ICE. It was initially open whether this would change. EU parliamentary President Roberta Mesola said that the relationship with China remains “complex and versatile”. But the best way to deal with it is through exchange and dialogue. Human rights and basic values will be defended worldwide.
EU sanctions remain applicable
The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs had initially not confirmed the end of the sanctions for the EU MPs. Together, China and the EU would protect the multilateral trading system in the current situation, said spokesperson Guo Jiakun, according to the office. The European Parliament itself announced the end of the sanctions.
The own punitive measures because of the Chinese human rights violations would continue to apply, it was emphasized. They determine that all assets of those involved are frozen. Moreover, no money or economic resources may be made available to you. Access to the EU is also prohibited. For example, the Office for Public Security of Xinjiang and the party committee of the Xinjiang area are affected.
Uigures are a Turkish -strap -etnic group that mainly lives in the field of the former Turkestan. About ten million Uighers lived in China in the early 21st century.
