Donald Trump’s visit to China: Beijing invokes Washington sanctions over Iran involvement

As U.S. President Donald Trump prepares for his visit to China, Beijing has responded to U.S. sanctions imposed on five Chinese companies. The Chinese Ministry of Commerce has invoked its "blocking statute" for the first time, prohibiting any recognition or compliance with U.S. sanctions. This response marks a significant step in China's fight against the extraterritorial application of U.S. laws.
