According to Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun on May 11, China firmly opposes the U.S. sanctions on three Chinese companies, which the U.S. claims assisted Iran. Guo stated that such unilateral sanctions lack international legal basis and lack UN Security Council authorization.
China will continue to require its enterprises to operate lawfully and will firmly safeguard their legitimate rights and interests, Guo added. On the broader Iran situation, he emphasized that avoiding renewed conflict should be the priority, rather than using geopolitical tensions to discredit other nations.
