China has said it opposed any new EU sanctions against Russia over accusations it is fuelling the separatist rebellion in eastern Ukraine.
The European Union announced plans on Sunday to tighten sanctions against the Kremlin, a move that was welcomed by Washington.
Beijing said that the European Union's plan to implement fresh economic penalties against Russia would complicate the crisis.
"A political solution is the only way out, sanctions do not help to solve the underlying problems in Ukraine," said China's foreign ministry spokesman Qin Gang.
"It may lead to new and more complicating factors."
In a bid to remain neutral, China has remained relatively quiet over Russia's behaviour in Ukraine since it annexed the peninsula of Crimea, neither endorsing nor condemning its ally's actions.
Qin called on all parties to "avoid taking further actions that could lead to an escalation of tensions."
The EU and US have imposed a raft of incremental sanctions against Moscow since March. The latest measures, passed in late July, targeted Russia's arms, defence and energy industries.
While sanctions have thwarted economic growth and sparked a rush of capital flight from Russia, they have proved less effective in curbing the violence in eastern Ukraine.

LONDON (Reuters) - The European Union could ban gas exports and limit industrial use as part of emergency measures to protect household energy supplies this winter, a source told Reuters, as it braces for a possible halt in Russian gas as a result of the Ukraine crisis.
Russia is Europe's biggest supplier of oil, coal and natural gas, and its pipelines through Ukraine are currently the subject of political manoeuvring - not for the first time - as Europe and Moscow clash over the latter's military action in Ukraine.
Kiev is warning that Russia plans to halt gas supplies while Moscow says Ukraine could siphon off energy destined for the European Union - which has just threatened new sanctions if Moscow fails to pull its forces out of Ukraine.
While buyers of oil and coal can find new suppliers relatively quickly, southeast Europe receives most of its gas from Kremlin-controlled Gazprom (GAZP.MM).
Tankers from Qatar and Algeria bring liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Europe via ports along the Atlantic and Mediterranean oceans, but European buyers often re-sell those cargoes abroad for higher prices rather than supplying their domestic market.
A source at the EU Commission said it was considering a ban on the practise of re-selling to bolster reserves.
