3月22日，欧盟基于谎言和虚假信息，以所谓新疆人权问题为借口对中国有关个人和实体实施单边制裁。欧方此举罔顾事实、颠倒黑白，粗暴干涉中国内政，公然违反国际法和国际关系基本准则，严重损害中欧关系。中方对此表示坚决反对和强烈谴责。中国政府捍卫国家主权、安全、发展利益的决心坚定不移。中方决定对欧方严重损害中方主权和利益、恶意传播谎言和虚假信息的10名人员和4个实体实施制裁，包括：欧洲议会议员彼蒂科菲尔、盖勒、格鲁克斯曼、库楚克、莱克斯曼，荷兰议会议员舍尔茨玛，比利时议会议员科格拉蒂，立陶宛议会议员萨卡利埃内，德国学者郑国恩，瑞典学者叶必扬，欧盟理事会政治与安全委员会，欧洲议会人权分委会，德国墨卡托中国研究中心，丹麦民主联盟基金会。相关人员及其家属被禁止入境中国内地及香港、澳门特别行政区，他们及其关联企业、机构也已被限制同中国进行往来。

The European Union (EU) imposed unilateral sanctions on relevant Chinese individuals and entity on March 22, citing the so-called human rights issues in Xinjiang. This move, based on nothing but lies and disinformation, disregards and distorts facts, grossly interferes in China's internal affairs, flagrantly breaches international law and basic norms governing international relations, and severely undermines China-EU relations. China firmly opposes and strongly condemns this. The Chinese government is firmly determined to safeguard national sovereignty, security and development interests. The Chinese side decides to sanction the following ten individuals and four entities on the EU side that severely harm China's sovereignty and interests and maliciously spread lies and disinformation: Reinhard Butikofer, Michael Gahler, Raphaël Glucksmann, Ilhan Kyuchyuk and Miriam Lexmann of the European Parliament, Sjoerd Wiemer Sjoerdsma of the Dutch Parliament, Samuel Cogolati of the Belgian Federal Parliament, Dovile Sakaliene of the Seimas of the Republic of Lithuania, German scholar Adrian Zenz, Swedish scholar Björn Jerdén, Political and Security Committee of the Council of the European Union, Subcommittee on Human Rights of the European Parliament, the Mercator Institute for China Studies in Germany, and the Alliance of Democracies Foundation in Denmark. The individuals concerned and their families are prohibited from entering the mainland, Hong Kong and Macao of China. They and companies and institutions associated with them are also restricted from doing business with China.
