China amenință SUA cu represalii dacă Washingtonul extinde sancțiunile împotriva Iranului

China has warned the U.S. of retaliation if Chinese firms face significant sanctions related to Iran. The U.S. sanctions target companies in Hong Kong and mainland China, excluding major Chinese financial institutions. This escalation could strain U.S.-China relations ahead of a crucial summit between Presidents Trump and Xi. China opposes unilateral sanctions and emphasizes the need for dialogue to reduce tensions. Despite state refiners largely adhering to sanctions, private refineries continue to import Iranian oil, with China urging compliance from domestic companies.
