China warns US that it could take retaliatory measures over sanctions on Iran
Beijing says it will take "all necessary measures" if Washington extends its offensive against business with Tehran.
China has warned the US that it will take "all necessary measures" if Washington expands sanctions on Iran to target Chinese companies. The warning comes ahead of a meeting between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping in Washington. China buys 90% of Iran's oil and has so far avoided including major Chinese financial institutions in US sanctions. China's Foreign Ministry has expressed "firm opposition" to unilateral US sanctions, saying they lack international legitimacy.
