China to maintain trade ties with Tehran

摘要

China will continue to buy crude from Iran despite the US decision to reimpose sanctions on the country and companies doing business with it. 'China and Iran maintain normal economic ties and trade. We will continue with our normal and transparent practical co-operation with Iran on the basis of not violating our international obligations,' a foreign affairs spokesman says, adding that 'the Chinese government is opposed to the imposition of unilateral sanctions and the so-called long-arm jurisdiction by any country in accordance with its domestic laws. This position is consistent and clear-cut.'
