China rebuked the European Commission for unwarrantedly and wantonly imposing sanctions on Chinese entities in its previous packages of sanctions against Russia over the Ukraine crisis, based on the false allegation that they are "supporting" Russia's military. However, the commission targeted more Chinese entities in a sweeping new package of sanctions against Russia over the weekend.
此前，欧盟委员会借乌克兰危机对俄实施多轮制裁时，以所谓“支持”俄罗斯军事为由无端肆意制裁中国实体，中国已就此予以谴责。然而，该委员会在周末推出的新一轮大规模对俄制裁中，又将更多中国实体列为制裁目标。
In its 19th package of sanctions since the start of the Ukraine crisis, the European Commission added 12 Chinese enterprises to its blacklist, targeting refineries, oil traders and petrochemical companies. Subject to approval by all EU member states, the sanctions purportedly demonstrate that "Europe is increasing its pressure on Russia", according to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
这是乌克兰危机爆发以来欧盟推出的第19轮对俄制裁，欧盟委员会将12家中国企业纳入黑名单，涉及炼油厂、石油贸易商及石化企业。欧盟委员会主席乌尔苏拉·冯德莱恩表示，该制裁方案需经所有欧盟成员国批准，据称此举是为了表明“欧洲正加大对俄罗斯的施压力度”。
China is not the creator of, nor is it a party to the Ukraine crisis. It remains steadfast in its commitment to promoting peace talks and playing a constructive role in multilateral efforts to realize a political settlement of the crisis. By trying to demonize the normal exchanges and cooperation between Chinese and Russian entities as efforts to "support" Russia's military, the European Union is simply trying to shift the blame onto China for its own failure to end the conflict.
中国并非乌克兰危机的制造者，也不是冲突当事方。中国始终坚定致力于推动和谈，在多边框架下为实现危机政治解决发挥建设性作用。欧盟将中俄实体间的正常交流合作污蔑为“支持”俄罗斯军事，实则是为自身未能推动冲突结束而试图将责任转嫁中国。
The commission has apparently realized that Ukraine, despite the support it is receiving from the United States and the EU, is unlikely to defeat Russia on the battlefield. And that the bloc cannot impose comprehensive sanctions against Russia without harming its own interests. It is using sanctions against third parties, such as China, as a form of virtue signaling and as an attempt to appease the White House. It is a display of the EU's willingness to do the US' bidding on the issue, rather than as a genuine effort to end the conflict.
欧盟委员会显然已意识到，尽管乌克兰得到美国和欧盟的支持，但在战场上击败俄罗斯的可能性不大；同时，欧盟若对俄罗斯实施全面制裁，必将损害自身利益。因此，其将对中国等第三方实施制裁作为一种“道德表态”，试图以此讨好美国政府。这一做法表明，在该问题上欧盟甘愿听从美国指令，而非真心实意推动冲突结束。
The US administration has called on the EU to impose tariffs of up to 100 percent on China and India, as part of its efforts to pressure Beijing and New Delhi to cut their purchases of Russian oil and end their "aid" to Russia. This is another sign of the US' exploitative approach to the EU on the Ukraine crisis and tariffs. The US administration recently admitted the US has made profits from selling weapons to the EU over the Ukraine crisis.
美国政府已呼吁欧盟对中国和印度征收最高100%的关税，此举旨在施压北京和新德里减少购买俄罗斯石油，并停止对俄“援助”。这一行为再次表明，在乌克兰危机和关税问题上，美国正以剥削性方式利用欧盟。美国政府近期也承认，在乌克兰危机期间，美国通过向欧盟出售武器获取了利润。
By meting out punitive measures against Chinese companies on such spurious grounds, the European Commission is doing nothing but seeking to show the US that it is answering its call without imposing a blanket tariff hike.
欧盟委员会以如此牵强的理由对中国企业实施惩罚性措施，无非是想向美国表明，其正响应美方号召，同时又避免全面提高关税。
The commission's unjustified move against China is shortsighted as the US is instrumentalizing Europe's vulnerabilities for its own geopolitical gains. Von der Leyen's alignment with Washington — accepting a US baseline 15 percent tariff on most EU goods while promising large EU purchases of US energy and defense — is intended to cement transatlantic unity.
欧盟委员会对中国采取的这一不当举措目光短浅，因为美国正利用欧洲的脆弱性谋取自身地缘政治利益。冯德莱恩选择与美国保持一致——接受美国对大多数欧盟商品征收15%的基准关税，同时承诺欧盟大量采购美国能源和防务产品——此举意在巩固跨大西洋联盟。
But in practice it leaves the EU exposed to loss of leverage in trade talks, domestic criticism over economic imbalance, and a weakened ability to defend its interests independently amid the Ukraine crisis and US pressure.
但实际上，这一做法使欧盟在贸易谈判中丧失筹码，因经济失衡面临国内批评，且在乌克兰危机和美国压力下，其独立维护自身利益的能力也被削弱。
Sanctioning the Chinese entities undoubtedly harms Sino-EU relations and represents another ill-advised move of the EU.
制裁中国实体无疑会损害中欧关系，这是欧盟又一不明智之举。
For its own good, the EU should uphold its strategic autonomy rather than making decisions to try and claim the moral high ground and accommodate the US administration's agenda.
为自身利益着想，欧盟应维护战略自主，而非为抢占道德高地、迎合美国政府议程而做出决策。
The development of China-EU relations over the past 50 years has proved that China and the EU are partners, not rivals, still less enemies. There is no territorial dispute, no geopolitical conflict, nor any fundamental conflict of interests between the two sides. China has always viewed its relations with the EU from a strategic and long-term perspective. It is hoped that the EU will work with China in the same direction to ensure that cooperation remains the underlying feature of China-EU relations.
过去50年的中欧关系发展证明，中欧是伙伴，而非对手，更非敌人。双方不存在领土争端、地缘政治冲突，也没有根本利益分歧。中国始终从战略和长远角度看待中欧关系，希望欧盟能与中国相向而行，确保合作始终是中欧关系的底色。
To end the Ukraine crisis, it is necessary for the US and the EU to refrain from seeking selfish gains and not add fuel to the fire by further exacerbating tensions. The sanctions imposed by the EU, as well as those by the US, over the Ukraine crisis have not only fueled tensions, but also seriously disturbed global supply chains.
要结束乌克兰危机，美欧需摒弃自私自利的图谋，避免进一步加剧紧张局势、火上浇油。欧盟与美国借乌克兰危机实施的制裁，不仅推高了紧张局势，还严重扰乱了全球供应链。
History clearly shows that such sanctions, devoid of legitimacy in international law, have never been solutions to burning issues, not to mention the goal of founding a lasting, workable and balanced security mechanism for Europe.
历史清楚表明，此类制裁缺乏国际法依据，从未成为解决紧迫问题的有效手段，更遑论实现为欧洲建立持久、可行且平衡的安全机制这一目标。
