Energy dealings with Iran lawful, must be respected: China to US
Tehran (KNA) - China, the top buyer of Iranian oil, has dismissed Washington’s warning to Hong Kong that it could face penalties if it provides services to a vessel carrying Iranian oil headed for the autonomous territory, saying “normal energy dealings” with Iran are in accordance with law and should be respected.
In a Wednesday statement, a spokesman for Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs reiterated Beijing's opposition to the US imposition of "unilateral sanctions and so-called long arm jurisdiction," the South China Morning Post reported.
"The normal energy dealings between Iran and the international community, including China, that is within the framework of international laws, are reasonable, lawful, and should be respected and protected," said the statement.
