A: The Chinese side has noticed that the United States has imposed sanctions on 24 Chinese companies and one individual on the “Specially Designated Nationals List” based on alleged involvement in Iran. China firmly opposes this. Recently, the United States has repeatedly imposed sanctions on Chinese companies based on alleged involvement in Iran and Russia. The United States’ indiscriminate use of unilateral sanctions and “long-arm jurisdiction” has no basis in international law, seriously harms the rights and legitimate interests of Chinese companies and individuals, disrupts normal economic and trade exchanges between other countries, threatens security and stability. global industrial and supply chains, and hindering the world economy, recovery and development. The United States should immediately correct its wrongdoing and stop its unreasonable suppression of Chinese companies and individuals. China will take the necessary measures to firmly protect the rights and legitimate interests of Chinese companies and individuals. (Ministry of Commerce website)
