Against the backdrop of the continued escalation of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Western countries have taken action against Russia's energy industry, the mainstay of its economy, hoping to curb Russia's ability to benefit from international energy trade, thereby achieving strategic containment of Russia and forcing Moscow to surrender without a fight.

Recently, the finance ministers of the G7 group issued a joint statement after their meeting, jointly deciding to take "export price restrictions" measures on Russian oil. Specifically, "when Russian crude oil and oil products exceed the prescribed 'limit price', these products will be prohibited from using international maritime transportation services."

In other words, the G7 group used coercive political means to impose a "sea transportation ban" on Russian oil. Although the relevant measures will not officially take effect until December, EU politicians, regardless of the reality that the energy crisis has already erupted in the region, can't wait to put pressure on China and India, the largest customers of Russian oil, and ask the two countries to join the price limit plan for Russian oil.

Not only the EU has attacked China on this issue, but US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen also called on China to participate in Western countries' plans to impose sanctions on Russian energy in previous dialogues with Chinese senior officials.
