Desk Correspondent , Beijing - China's Defense Minister Admiral Dong Jun warned President Trump against interfering in Beijing's ties with Iran as the US enforces its Hormuz blockade, heightening superpower friction.
The rebuke came on April 13, coinciding with the blockade's start at 7:30 PM IST, with China stressing its energy and trade pacts with Tehran and rejecting US "piracy" claims. Trump has threatened 50% tariffs on China for aiding Iran and warned of "complications" over potential arms shipments, which Beijing dismissed as smears. Videos and reports show China framing the move as meddling, urging non-interference while US forces clear mines and prepare strikes.
Beijing's defiance complicates Trump's campaign, risking economic retaliation and a multi-front challenge to US dominance in the Gulf.
