She was commenting on a statement by Paul Jones, US Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of State in the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs.

“We come against any sanctions or threats because they are not an effective method of solving problems,” Hua said, adding that the political settlement of the situation in Ukraine is the only right way.

“The Asian countries have their own view on the Ukrainian problem,” Hua indicated, stating that “China is sure that sanctions are useless.”
