In response to a media report of the US asking China to cut oil imports from Iran, China’s Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday that Beijing’s cooperation with Tehran is conducted within the framework of international law and urged the US to drop its “long-arm jurisdiction”.

Citing American and European officials, Reuters reported on Tuesday that the US has reached out to China about cutting China’s imports of crude oil from Iran, as the US tries to persuade Iran to resume talks about reviving a nuclear deal.

China’s position on China-Iran economic and trade cooperation is consistent and clear, and cooperation has always been conducted under the framework of international law, Hua Chunying, a spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, stated at a regular press briefing on Wednesday when asked about the report.

China and Iran have always conducted cooperation following the principles of equality and mutual benefit, win-win cooperation and commercialization, Hua added.

The spokesperson further stressed that China firmly opposes any unilateral sanctions and urged the US to lift the so-called long-arm jurisdiction over third-party entities and individuals as soon as possible.

The Reuters reported that China’s imports of Iranian crude oil was one of the issues raised by US Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman when she visited China at the end of July.

The AUKUS nuclear submarine deal launched by the U.S., the U.K. and Australia could cause hidden dangers to regional peace and stability, as well as international order, Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Tuesday.

Wang made the remarks when he co-chaired the 11th round of high-level strategic dialogue between China and the European Union (EU) via video link with Josep Borrell, the EU’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy.

He added the three countries have drawn ideological lines and built a new military bloc that will lead to the hidden danger of the resurgence of the Cold War, according to a Chinese Foreign Ministry statement.

The move will cause the hidden danger of an arms race, prompting some regional countries to step up their military development and increase the risks of military conflict, he added.

Nuclear proliferation will be another impact that will damage the nuclear non-proliferation system, like the South Pacific Nuclear Free Zone Treaty, the minister said.

“We urge the three countries to follow the trend of the times and play a constructive role in regional peace and stability,” he stated.

Wang also talked about the relations with the EU, stressing that adherence to the one-China policy is the political foundation of the ties.

Both China and the EU believe that bilateral exchanges should be based on mutual respect, seeking common ground while shelving differences, expanding cooperation and reducing antagonism, upholding the international order based on the UN Charter and international law, and jointly addressing common challenges such as COVID-19 and climate change, he added.

Borrell said developing relations with China is an important agenda of the EU, and it is very important for the two sides to maintain close and smooth communication, the ministry statement added. The EU, he continued, is willing to work with China to prepare for the next stage of high-level exchanges between the two sides.

The EU always pursues the one-China policy, which is an important cornerstone of its relations with China and the EU will not conduct official exchanges with the Taiwan region, he said.

Borrell added that the bloc is ready to continue to strengthen cooperation with China on fighting COVID-19, climate change and biodiversity conservation.

any stockpiling and use of atomic weapons.
Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Reza Najafi called for global nuclear disarmament.

Najafi was speaking on Tuesday during the UN General Assembly’s high-level meeting to commemorate the International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons.

Najafi paid tribute to the victims of nuclear weapons, saying the only way to ensure that nuclear arms are not used is to completely destroy them.

He also referred to the modernization of nuclear weapons by the United States and other nuclear-armed states in violation of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, NPT. The Iranian deputy foreign minister said those states oppose any nuclear disarmament negotiations despite their legal obligations under Article VI of the NPT.

Najafi also singled out the Israeli regime, saying Tel Aviv threatens peace and security in the Middle East and beyond through its clandestine nuclear program, thus the international community should demand the regime join the NPT without precondition by placing its nuclear facilities under the auspices of the International Atomic Energy Agency, IAEA.

Earlier at the meeting, Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud urged the international community to assume its responsibilities toward what he called Iran’s violations of the 2015 nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.

Najafi dismissed Farhan’s claims and stressed the need for transparency in Saudi Arabia’s nuclear program under the auspices of the IAEA.

Iran’s representative to the 48th regular session of the UN Human Rights Council urged the body to recognize Israel as a racist apartheid regime.

The Iranian envoy said the regime has committed many instances of mass killings, systematic torture, and arbitrary detention.

He referred to Israel’s crimes against Palestinian children, saying the only crime of those kids was that they threw stone at “this monster” with their small hands.

The Iranian representative said the international community’s indifference has emboldened the regime to commit the gravest injustices in history.

The Iranian official also said the US support of Israel has made the regime feel immune from any challenges.

The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) test-fired a hypersonic missile Hwasong-8 in Toyang-ri, Ryongrim County of Jagang Province on Tuesday morning, according to KCNA.

The missile was newly developed and test-fired by the Academy of Defense Science, according to the report.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Republic of Korea (ROK) announced on Tuesday that the DPRK fired an “unidentified projectile” off its eastern coast, hours before the ROK launched a new submarine equipped with ballistic missiles.

The DPRK’s latest test came days after top leader Kim Jong Un’s sister Kim Yo Jong, vice department director of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea (WPK), condemned the “double standards” of the ROK and the United States on the DPRK’s military development.

“In the first test-launch, national defense scientists confirmed the navigational control and stability of the missile in the active section and also its technical specifications including the guiding maneuverability and the gliding flight characteristics of the detached hypersonic gliding warhead,” reported KCNA.

It also ascertained the stability of the engine and the missile fuel ampoule that has been used for the first time, KCNA said, adding that the test results proved that “all the technical specifications met the design requirements”.

According to the report, Pak Jong Chon, member of the Presidium of the Political Bureau and secretary of the Central Committee of the WPK, watched the test launch with leading officials in the sector of national defense science.

In September, the DPRK tested cruise and ballistic missiles.

Peace in Syria depends on relations between Ankara and Moscow, Erdogan said on Wednesday in a summit with his Russian counterpart.

Speaking in the resort city of Sochi in southern Russia alongside Putin, Erdogan underlined the importance of his country’s joint actions with Moscow in the context of the Syrian conflict.

For his part, Putin stated that though his meetings with Erdogan were not always without problems, the institutions of their countries are able to reach resolutions between them.

He highlighted the significant role of cooperation between Ankara and Moscow in ensuring a truce secured last year after Azerbaijan liberated the Upper Karabakh region from neighboring Armenia’s occupation, as well as a strong and permanent peace between the two Caucasian nations.

Touching on economic relations between Ankara and Moscow, Putin underscored that Turkey’s investment in Russia had reached $1.5 billion and Russia’s in Turkey currently stood at $6.5 billion.

Major investment projects between the two countries continue as planned and bilateral trade between them has increased by 50% in the first nine months this year, making up for previous losses and achieving a major rise amid the coronavirus pandemic, added Putin at the investments in Sochi, where the meeting was taking place.

Erdogan was accompanied on his working visit by the head of the National Intelligence Organization Hakan Fidan, Communications Director Fahrettin Altun, and presidential spokesman Ibrahim Kalin.

YouTube deletes German-language RT channels

The Russian Foreign Ministry announced it would request Russian governmental agencies to take retaliatory measures against YouTube and German media outlets following the video hosting platform’s decision to block German-language projects of Russia’s RT media holding.

“Considering the nature of the incident, which is fully in line with the logic of the information warfare unleashed against Russia, taking retaliatory symmetrical measures against the German media in Russia would seem not just an appropriate, but also a necessary thing to do, especially taking into account that [the German media] were caught interfering into our country’s domestic affairs on several occasions in the past,” the ministry said in a statement on Tuesday. 

“Considering that multiple requests for returning to compliance with international obligations to protect media freedoms and the freedom of speech were ignored by the German side, we view such measures as the only possible way to encourage our partners to engage in a constructive and meaningful dialogue about this unacceptable situation,” it added.

“Having considered an RT request for protection against discrimination, it was resolved to file a request to relevant agencies of the Russian Federation with a proposal to draft and enforce retaliatory measures against YouTube and the German media,” the statement continues.

The ministry described the move as an “act of unprecedented informational aggression” by the YouTube video hosting platform, committed with connivance or even at the behest of the German authorities.

German-language projects of Russia’s RT media holding were blocked by YouTube in an attempt to silence media sources that German officials find inconvenient, the Russian Foreign Ministry added.

“The goal of this aggression against the Russian media holding’s projects is evident: to silence information sources that go beyond the media agenda that German officials find convenient,” it said.

“Accounts of two media operators of the RT Group – RT DE and Der Fehlende Part – have been removed without the possibility of being restored. The internet giant’s attempt to link such outrageous actions with some abstract ‘violations of the community’s internal rules’ in a bid to justify this evident act of censorship and suppression of the freedom of expression cannot be scrutinized and will not be scrutinized,” the ministry added.

“There can be no doubts that such unlawful actions against a media project, ranked fourth in the “News and Politics” subsection of the German-language media popularity rating, were taken by YouTube with open and covert support of the German authorities and local media,” the statement says.

According to the document, the German government and media engaged in “perennial bullying” of correspondents of Russian broadcasters, including “blocking of bank accounts, public slander and so forth”.

The Russian Foreign Ministry stressed that as a result of YouTube’s actions, about 700,000 subscribers of the above-mentioned projects lost the opportunity to receive information from the source of their choice.

The Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media (Roskomnadzor) sent a letter to Google, demanding to remove all restrictions from RT DE and DFP channels and explain the reasons for their imposition, according to the agency’s press office.

YouTube’s actions in relation to Russian TV channel RT are associated with censorship, they show signs of violation of the Russian laws, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.

“There are clear signs that the laws of the Russian Federation have been violated. They have been violated very rudely, because, of course, this is related to censorship, with obstruction of the dissemination of information by the media, and so on,” he added.
