According to Reuters, US Treasury Secretary Bessent said on the 20th local time that the US will implement “the harshest sanctions in history” on Iran and urged cooperation between China and the US. Regarding the above news, at the regular press conference of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs held on August 21, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Lin Jian said in response to questions from foreign media reporters “What comments does the Chinese side have on this” that we have already responded to this yesterday. I would like to repeat that China opposes illegal unilateral sanctions that have no basis in international law and are not authorized by the United Nations Security Council, and call on all parties concerned to take responsible measures to resolve the issue through political and diplomatic channels.
