China Voices Strong Opposition to US-Led Sanctions on Iran

"The correct path is dialogue and negotiations. China opposes putting domestic law above international law to impose unilateral sanctions on another country," he said. Hong also defended China's oil and trade ties with Iran and criticized the Western sanctions that could frustrate such relations.

"China and Iran have normal and transparent trade and energy exchanges that do not contravene UN Security Council resolutions. The dealings in question should not be affected (by sanctions)," the Chinese foreign ministry spokesman pointed out. Meanwhile, energy experts say the sanctions could lead to a major hike in crude oil prices and disrupt the interests of the US and its allies that depend on oil imports from Iran.
