China summons the ambassadors of the European Union (EU) and the United Kingdom to protest recent sanctions imposed on Beijing over allegations of human rights violations in the western state of Xinjiang.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken calls the US ties with China the "biggest geopolitical test" of the century for Washington.

China says it firmly opposes new US sanctions on its officials and companies.

China has called on the US to stop interfering in its internal affairs through using issues related to ethnic Uighurs.
