“The sanctions against Russia are getting more and more outrageous," he said at a security forum in Beijing, Sputnik reported.
Le Yucheng added that Russian citizens were being deprived of overseas assets "for no reason".
"History has proven time and again that sanctions cannot solve problems. Sanctions will only harm ordinary people, impact the economic and financial system...and worsen the global economy," he stressed.
Like many other high-ranking Chinese officials, he acknowledged Moscow's concerns over NATO, saying the alliance should not expand further to the east, forcing a nuclear power like Russia "into a corner".
"This pursuit of absolute security (by NATO) precisely leads to absolute non-security," Le said. "The consequences of forcing a major power, especially a nuclear power, into a corner are even more unimaginable".
