China Defiant on Iran Oil Purchases
China Defiant on Iran Oil Purchases

The Chinese government has indicated it has no plans to change its position on oil purchases from Iran, a day after the United States left Beijing off a list of economies that are exempt from U.S. sanctions on Iranian oil imports.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Weimin Tuesday rejected a question about whether China will reduce its oil imports from Iran and said these purchases are necessary.

China needs to import crude oil from Iran, Liu said, because of its economic development, describing it as “a completely legal” matter. China's purchase channels are normal, open and transparent and do not violate United Nations resolutions or harm the interests of any other party, he added.

Beijing's defiant tone on the matter follows U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's announcement on Monday of a list of seven more economies exempt from new American sanctions targeting Iran's oil trade.

The countries on the list have proven they had significantly reduced the amount of oil they buy from Iran, said Clinton.

China is the world's largest buyer of Iranian oil and is the last remaining major importer exposed to possible penalties when the U.S. sanctions are imposed, likely later this month.

When asked if China and the United States are still in discussion about the sanctions, the spokesman would only say that Beijing has clearly informed Washington of its position.

He repeated his country's opposition not only to one country imposing unilateral sanctions on another country, but also trying to impose those sanctions on third countries as well.

China's purchases of oil from Iran declined earlier this year, but analysts say the cutback was the result of a price dispute. Purchases went back up in April and have continued.

The United States and the European Union believe Iran is trying to build nuclear weapons, and so have been increasingly targeting it with sanctions.

Iran says its nuclear program is strictly civilian.

Its simple to understand. The reality of sanctions will be opposite if it ever attempts to happen. China can stop whatever the U.S benefits to itself, including the economic aid...

China Is Secondary Target of Sanctions on Iran

Other importers of Iranian oil have been granted exemptions, but Washington has refused to grant them to China

The Obama administration has agreed to let numerous countries be exempt from penalties under a harsh new set of economic sanctions on Iran’s oil sector, but has refused to grant China – a major importer of Iranian oil – such exemptions.

The new round of sanctions are scheduled for June 28 and the U.S. has given waivers to India, South Korea, Turkey, and four other countries. They can now continue to do business with Iranian oil, so long as they voluntarily reduce their imports by significant margins.

China buys as much as a fifth of Iran’s crude exports and remains the one major trading partner who will still face international penalties for continuing to import Iranian oil.

The Obama administration has been ramping up the pressure on China with an increasingly antagonistic foreign policy. The so-called ‘Asia pivot’ is an aggressive policy that involves surging American military presence throughout the region – in the Philippines, Japan, Australia, Guam, South Korea, Singapore, etc. – in an unprovoked scheme to contain rising Chinese economic and military influence.

This bellicose posture has increased tensions between the U.S. and China and between China and its weaker neighbors, like the Philippines. A recent report from the Center for Strategic International Studies predicted that next year “could see a shift in Chinese foreign policy based on the new leadership’s judgment that it must respond to a U.S. strategy that seeks to prevent China’s reemergence as a great power.”

“Signs of a potential harsh reaction are already detectable,” the report said. “The U.S. Asia pivot has triggered an outpouring of anti-American sentiment in China that will increase pressure on China’s incoming leadership to stand up to the United States. Nationalistic voices are calling for military countermeasures to the bolstering of America’s military posture in the region and the new U.S. defense strategic guidelines.”

And now, the sanctions policy on Iran is giving the administration an opportunity to target China some more. The sanctions themselves are a mere power play: their supposed justification is to pressure Iran to reassure the West of the peaceful nature of its nuclear program, but the consensus in the U.S. military and intelligence community is that Iran has no nuclear weapons program and has demonstrated no intention of developing one. The sanctions are really about authority and domination.

And that seems to be the case for the secondary targets of the sanctions regime, like China. In order to get international support for the sanctions, Obama needed to grant exemptions to various allies whose economies depend on Iranian oil. But not China.

“I wouldn’t be surprised to see China raked over the coals a little longer before a decision is taken on whether to grant them a waiver,” Bob McNally, head of the Washington-based oil consultancy Rapidan Group, told Al Jazeera.

The administration won’t comment on the refusal to grant China the exemptions, but some think it is just to bully someone. “If the administration is willing to exempt all of these countries, who will they make an example out of?” said US Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, a Republican and chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
