According to CoinMeta, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian presided over a regular press conference. US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen threatened to impose secondary sanctions on countries that trade with Iran. China is a major buyer of Iranian oil; what kind of response will China make if the US imposes such sanctions? Lin Jian stated that sanctions and pressure do not help to solve problems but only exacerbate tensions and escalate the situation, which is not in the interest of any party. China calls on all parties to maintain rational restraint, avoid taking measures that may further intensify conflicts and impact global economic development and financial stability, and to return as soon as possible to the correct path of dialogue, negotiation, and political resolution. China will closely monitor related developments and take necessary measures to protect its legitimate rights and interests.
