China steadily opposes unilateral U.S. sanctions against Iran, Reuters quoted the Chinese foreign ministry as stating on Monday amid reports that Washington is expected to proclaim that purchasers of Iranian oil must stop imports soon or face sanctions.
"China has always opposed the US imposition of so-called 'unilateral sanctions' and 'long-arm jurisdiction'," Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang informed a daily news briefing in Beijing on Monday.
He emphasized that China's bilateral collaboration with Iran was in accordance with the law, "reasonable and legitimate, which thus deserves respect."
