Sanctions act tries to make China a scapegoat for US' own problems in the Middle East: China Daily editorial

China Daily  

It was outrageous and against international trade rules for the US House of Representatives to have passed the "Iran-China Energy Sanctions Act" on Monday. The act, if approved by the Senate, will expand sanctions to cover Chinese financial institutions that purchase petroleum products from Iran. Congressman Josh Gottheimer, a member of the House Financial Services Committee, said about the act that after Iran's "unprecedented" attack on Israel and as its "regime of terror" deepens ties with China, "we are reminded that they cannot be trusted". But instead of reflecting on the US' own problematic policies and mending their ways, politicians in Washington are trying to make China the scapegoat for their wrongdoing.
