China has expressed strong dissatisfaction over an EU statement relating to state subversion cases in China.

The European External Action Service issued the statement on the conviction of Chinese Citizens on charges of state subversion in early August.

In response, the Chinese Mission to the European Union said China enshrines the principle of rule of law and anyone who breaks the law shall be brought to justice, regardless of his or her occupation.

The Chinese mission said China's judicial authorities handle cases in accordance with the law, while protecting every legitimate right of the suspects.
