    inb4 some idiot comments on how it’s Xinhua and thus propaganda, when the news is literally China announcing sanctions and Xinhua is literally about as primary a source as you can find

    That sounds perfectly reasonable, just like sanctions against other countries that are doing something the sanctioning countries don’t like.

      Reading comprehension is not your strength, I see. China did not sanction any countries. They sanctioned arms dealers and manufacturers. There’s a big difference. Sanctioning countries is collective punishment of civilians. Sanctioning weapons companies reduces the total addressable market those companies can sell to.
