Beijing, September 3 /Xinhua/ — China has urged the United States to immediately correct its wrongful actions and lift sanctions against Chinese enterprises and citizens due to alleged connections with Iran, Chinese Ministry of Commerce spokesperson Huang Ling said on Thursday.

China has repeatedly stated its strong opposition to unilateral sanctions that have no basis in international law and are not authorized by the UN Security Council, she noted at the latest departmental press conference.

Despite the representations made by China, the American side has repeatedly imposed sanctions on Chinese companies and citizens due to alleged connections with Iran, said Huang Lin, noting that China expresses deep dissatisfaction and firm disagreement with such actions.

The unilateral US sanctions unlawfully hinder normal trade and economic cooperation between the respective countries and seriously undermine global energy security and supply stability, she stated.

China called on the American side to immediately rectify its erroneous actions and lift the sanctions, and also stated that it will resolutely defend the legitimate rights and interests of its enterprises and citizens, summarized Huang Lin.
