BEIJING (Sputnik) - China will take necessary measures to protect the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies against "unilateral" sanctions imposed by the United Kingdom over the Ukraine conflict, the Chinese Embassy in the UK said on Friday.
On Thursday, London sanctioned three Chinese companies over their alleged involvement in assisting Russia in the Ukraine conflict, the UK government said. The list of companies included Finder Technology LTD, JUHANG Aviation Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Limited and Beijing Micropilot Flight Control Systems Co., LTD.

"China will undertake necessary measures and resolutely safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies. We warn the UK side that any actions that harm China's interests will be strongly rebuffed by China," the embassy said in a statement.
