Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have, if any, to enact secondary sanctions against (1) Chinese state-owned companies, (2) Chinese entities, and (3) individuals, proven to establish commercial, economic or financial arrangements which would alleviate or circumvent international sanctions and export controls imposed on Russia following the invasion of Ukraine.

In lockstep with our allies, we are introducing the largest and most severe economic sanctions that Russia has ever faced, to help cripple Putin's war machine. We have now sanctioned over 1000 individuals and over 100 entities since Putin's invasion of Ukraine.

The world is watching what China chooses to say and do in response to Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine. We continue to engage at all levels to urge China to use its relationship with Russia to contribute to peace and stability, and not to fuel aggression. We do not speculate on future designations under the sanctions regime.
