downloadChina has warned that the US sanctions recently imposed against certain Chinese companies and individuals over their alleged trading with Iran will harm Beijing’s relations with Washington, urging the US to “correct its mistaken policy.”

According to Press TV, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said in a statement on Monday that the US measure “seriously violates the norms of international relations and harms China’s interests.”
The statement further read “China urges the United States to immediately correct its mistaken policy and revoke these irrational sanctions toward the relevant companies and individuals and cease taking actions that harm China’s interests and China-US relations.”
