Global Times Editorial: China Will Not Join the US in "Fooling Around" on the Iran Issue

The US assertion of "either you are with us or against us" in a sense exposes Washington's strategic predicament of "no longer being able to manage this mess on its own." China has consistently opposed unilateral bullying and "long-arm jurisdiction," not because China is Iran's largest trading partner and maintains long-standing friendly relations with Iran, but because accepting the US logic would lead to the absurd scenario where international trade is governed by rules unilaterally set by the US, and all flows of goods would require US approval.
