China rejects US sanctions on Iranian

[FarCenter]

BEIJING - A Foreign Ministry spokesman said here Tuesday that China will not accept unilateral sanctions by the United States on a third country.

...

"China opposes any country imposing unilateral sanctions on another country pursuant to its domestic law," said Liu, adding that China will not accept the practice of saddling unilateral sanctions on a third country.

...

Liu said China imports oil from Iran through normal channels in an open and transparent manner, and the trade is "legal and rational."

China's oil imports are based on its economic development needs, and the oil imports do not violate relevant UN Security Council resolutions or undermine the interests of a third party or the international community, stressed the spokesman.
