China Hits EU Banks Over Bloc’s Russian Sanctions Package

Beijing targeted two Lithuanian banks on Wednesday in retaliation for the European Union’s latest Russian sanctions that affected two rural Chinese banks near the China-Russia border.

In an order published in state media Xinhua, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce (MOC) said it’s adding Lithuania-based UAB Urbo Bankas and AB Mano Bankas to its list of sanctioned entities under the regime’s Anti-Foreign Sanctions Law.
