China firmly opposes the practice of constantly dragging it into the matter of Ukraine crisis and opposes the imposition of so-called economic pressure on it, Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said at a press briefing in Beijing on Friday.
Guo made the remarks in response to a media query on U.S. President Donald Trump's alleged call on European leaders to "stop purchasing Russian oil" and "place economic pressure on China" over the Ukraine issue.
"China always upholds a just and objective stance on the Ukraine issue. China is neither the one who created this crisis nor a party to it. We firmly oppose the practice of constantly dragging China into the matter and absolutely oppose the imposition of so-called economic pressure on China," said Guo.
