China called on Tuesday all sides of the 2015 nuclear deal to trust each other and act responsibly to safeguard and carry out the agreement after Washington slapped new sanctions on 18 entities and individuals Americans think linked to Iran's ballistic missile program and other non-nuclear activities.
“All sides have the responsibility to safeguard and carry out the Iran nuclear deal,” said China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Lu Kang on Wednesday.
The ministry said China opposes to any form of nuclear proliferation, and has always been against the so-called "long-arm jurisdiction" by any country based on its domestic laws.
It said effective international cooperation relies on all sides trusting each other.
