China's status as Iran's top oil customer in focus before Trump-Xi meeting

China's status as Iran's top oil customer in focus before Trump-Xi meeting

Trump is hitting China with sanctions over Iranian oil right before meeting Xi. China is Iran's biggest customer, buying over 80% of its exports. China just activated a law telling its companies to ignore these US sanctions, showing it's confident it can withstand the pressure. It'll be interesting to see if they can actually talk about this during the visit, or just focus on trade deals. https://www.thenationalnews.com/business/energy/2026/05/12/chinas-status-as-irans-top-oil-customer-in-focus-before-trump-xi-meeting/

The timing is everything. Right before the meeting? That's a power play.

Hope this doesn't just end with more empty talk. Real action is needed.

China playing hardball with the US sanctions. They're not backing down anytime soon.
