On March 20th, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian presided over a regular press conference. A reporter asked: The US Treasury Secretary stated yesterday that Washington may lift sanctions on Iranian oil. How does the Foreign Ministry view the current global oil market situation, including the possibility of the US lifting sanctions on Iran? Lin Jian stated that China has always opposed illegal unilateral sanctions. We are deeply concerned about the ongoing tension in the Middle East, and all parties should immediately cease military actions to prevent further escalation and prevent regional instability from causing greater impact on global economic development. Energy security is crucial to the world's economy, and all parties have a responsibility to ensure stable and smooth energy supply.
