China amenință SUA cu represalii dacă Washingtonul extinde sancțiunile împotriva Iranului

Beijing 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 but exclude major Chinese financial institutions. An expansion of these sanctions could severely strain U.S.-China relations ahead of a crucial summit between Trump and Xi Jinping. China opposes unilateral sanctions and emphasizes the need for dialogue to reduce tensions. While state refineries largely comply with sanctions, private refineries are allowed to import Iranian oil, and China has urged domestic companies not to comply with U.S. restrictions.
