China orders firms to ignore US Iran sanctions, daring US to enforce crackdown

[skews13]

It became apparent by China Joe's actions in China that the dumocrap party had already conceded to China becoming the new dominant superpower and are welcoming it. I guess they had no choice, the entire DNC and party is funded by globalists who want America out of their hair so they can make even more potential profits in Asia. I think what Trump is doing is full of good intentions but is by now a Hail Mary to push the can down the road a bit. These decisions needed to be made in the 90's, not 2026. Over the last two decades the corrupt dumocrap politicians have already set up America to become just another poor socialist country with them living in big palaces and everybody else living in complete poverty.

The only people making money in Asia are Trump and his cronies.

The only people living in big palaces are Trump and his cronies.

The only people living in complete poverty are the maga fools that voted for Trump and his cronies.

The same maga fools that are pushing for Trump and his cronies to build a big palace full of gold while they live in complete poverty.

There is no bigger fool, than a republicanfool.

In the meantime the globalists ( Republicans ) are getting rich from foreign investments in their crypto scams, and fleecing the magafools that they get to invest in them.

Everybody that is dealing with China at least knows they will get something for their money. Usually a better product than the crap made in America. Especially cars.

Theres a reason why nothing is manufactured in America, only assembled. Usually by magafools in rural areas of states in low paying non union jobs.

The 90's saw the biggest economic boom under Clinton, since the 1950's. Unmatched by all Republican Presidents combined, and it wasn't even close.

2026 has seen the biggest decline since the 1930's which started with decisions made in the 80's.

What this country needs is a lot more 90's, and a complete ending of all decisions made in the 80's and especially in 2026.

Of course.
Americans would forget GM and Ford overnight and buy millions of Chinese vehicles.

if they are like their other shitty products i dont think that will be happening..

Right Harry, because Americans have never gone for the Cheap Chinese low price alternative

No sir, you are wrong. EVERYONE left leaning would b e honored to buy Chinese cars come hell or high water.
On the Conservative side....convenience over country.....they would also buy Chinese made cars enmasse.
Considering the surveillance oriented junk GM and Ford are selling today, it might be a safer bet as long as China agreed to load them up with spyware for the US government.

Truth be told, China can actually make very high quality goods. It is AMERICAN corporations that direct them to make them so cheap so that maximum profits are extracted for CEO salaries and board dividends.

It is appalling that America's democracy and freedom has become the global symbol of what NOT to do while China's Communism and all it's human rights tragedies is the example of HOW TO succeed financially as a nation.

Humans apparently as a whole are incapable of handling free freedom. It must be carefully guarded and allotted only as earned it seems. Otherwise you get the savagery known as the United Stated of America.

like Mao ?

If you consider him one of your founding fathers, well, whatever.

You sell American people short. In spite of commie influence controlling the democrat party, media and cities, trump was elected three times. Which suggests that there are more Americans with sense out there than you believe.

 

[Tumblin Tumbleweed]

A week before Trump is to give the CCP credibility by visiting? This is the strongest power move by China against America yet, a rubicon is being crossed. This is the moment, under Trump of all presidents, that ANY nation has crossed America so boldly since Japan really over 80 years ago. This is them saying "we have replaced you". Incredible.

Does Xi and his intel sources believe Trump will blink for the world? Insanity.

China orders firms to ignore US Iran sanctions, daring US to enforce crackdown

China orders firms to defy U.S. sanctions on Iranian oil in what analysts call an unprecedented escalation of Beijing's resistance to Washington.

www.foxnews.com

China has ordered companies to disregard U.S. sanctions targeting Iranian oil, forcing a direct test of Washington’s ability to enforce its crackdown on Iran.

A new directive, issued through China’s Commerce Ministry Sunday, invokes a 2021 "blocking statute" that prohibits firms from complying with foreign sanctions deemed illegitimate. The order applies to several Chinese refiners accused by the United States of purchasing Iranian crude, including major independent processors known as "teapot" refineries.

The move represents a shift from years of opaque workarounds to more explicit state-backed resistance, as Beijing signals it will not cooperate with U.S. efforts to cut off a key source of revenue for Iran.

"This is unprecedented. It’s a major escalation in terms of China’s response to U.S. economic statecraft. It is a measure of defiance by Beijing," said Max Meizlish, a senior research analyst at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.

The escalation comes as the Trump administration intensifies its sanctions campaign, targeting Chinese refiners and warning financial institutions they could face penalties for facilitating oil transactions between Iran and China.

The orange bag O' shit didn't earn the term TACO for his strong stances, genius.

Appears China received their answer:

Trump pauses 'Project Freedom,' signals progress toward peace with Iran

President Donald Trump ordered a temporary pause in "Project Freedom" in the Strait of Hormuz after the U.S. sent its latest draft of a peace proposal to Iran.

Chinese-owned oil tanker hit near Strait of Hormuz in first since Iran conflict began​

A Chinese-owned oil tanker came under attack near the Strait of Hormuz for the first time since the U.S.-Iran conflict began on Thursday.
A report from Chinese media stated that the unnamed vessel was marked "CHINA OWNER & CREW." The ship's deck caught fire from the attack and it remains unclear whether any of its crew were injured.
This was the first time a Chinese oil tanker has been attacked, a person with knowledge of the matter told Chinese outlet Caixin.
China remains a key buyer of Iranian oil, which has been targeted by a US blockade in the Gulf of Oman.
Reuters contributed to this report.

 

[Rawley]

Not meaningless at all, VERY telling. The fact that they would engage in such extreme efforts a week before his meeting magnifies this decision even further.

This is a bold, public test for the world to see.

If Trump maintains the blockade and tells the world "a ship tries to ignore us and we boarded it, and/or we had to sink it", then it will be CHINA that looks weak. It could backfire horrendously.

If it succeeds however, we are unofficially seeing China replace America. I thought it would happen under Biden but it was Russia who challenged America and failed (unlike how they succeeded under Obama).

I thought this would be the type of baton passing if Harris won, I don't think Trump is just going to let China dominate under his watch. Let's see how it unfolds.

?? Where are they getting this Iranian oil to refine?

 

[drudge X]

I think Trump did what he could but if he went too far I think he'd get JFK'd.
He's also hindered by Communists in Congress.
I was absolutely floored that we allowed Communists to hold seats in Congress.
I KNEW the USA was done at that point.

Now look at how many Communists (pretending to be Socialists) are getting elected all over the country.

The collapse of this country and Europe has nothing to do with China. It's all self inflicted. This country could have told China to shove it but the gleaming Chinese cash is irresistible to Democrats, like a crack smoker constantly looking around the area for crack after smoking crack on hand.

Why Don't We Sell China Our Own Oil to Replace What They Buy from Iran?

I think everyone is aware that you support China.
You're probably on the winning side, long term. The Right was no will to fight. None.

Chickenhawks Want White Commoners to Get Slaughtered for Their Cold War II Fantasy

The plutocratic parasites' brain-squeezing economic system can't compete with China's momentum. Refusal to increase productivity through drastic overthrow of the dead wood keeping it down is why England started World War I to get rid of the economic competition from Germany.

I support the ideas of the founding fathers.

like Mao ?

Mao, Like Most Fake-Leftists, Was Born in the Lower Ranks of the Upper Class

Revolutions are rotating fraternity parties.

None who were interested in sanctions on other countries.

Are you aware that China is now the worlds largest auto manufacturer surpassing the COMBINED sales of the USA AND EUROPE ?

THAT IS POWER. The signs are practically smashing you in the face, yet the ego of Americans dwelling in long lost glory will persist even as the tracks of foreign tanks run them over.
