The Wall Street Journal of the United States reported today: "US President Donald Trump has threatened to ban buyers of Iranian oil or petrochemical products from doing business with the US. This warning is actually aimed at China, while also exerting greater pressure on Iran over its nuclear program."
Under Trump's new threat, buyers such as Europe and India have stopped importing Iranian oil, but China remains unmoved and continues to steadily procure, maintaining its position as Iran's largest buyer. This action fully demonstrates China's firm attitude of "not provoking trouble and not fearing trouble," showcasing an independent diplomatic stance.
As the world's second-largest economy with independent sovereignty, China has the right to autonomously decide its trade partners and product procurement. No external force has the right to interfere. The facts have long proven that America's threats are ineffective, just like in the tariff war, where China decisively retaliated and struck back strongly, setting an example for countries around the world.
