China has warned the United States that unless Washington eases sanctions on Iran, Beijing will take further economic measures against American interests and may target major cryptocurrencies to destabilize them, according to reports.
China has escalated its economic pressure campaign against the United States, warning that it will impose further economic measures on American interests unless Washington eases sanctions on Iran. According to the report, Beijing also threatened to target several major cryptocurrencies to destabilize them as part of the ongoing pressure struggle with the U.S.
The warning follows a pattern of escalating Sino-American tensions over Iran policy, as The Zioneer has previously reported. In recent weeks, China imposed export curbs on 10 U.S. defense firms, including rare-earth mineral bans, and joined Russia in vowing to block UN Security Council sanctions renewal on Iran. Beijing has also voiced 'deep concern' over the situation in Lebanon while announcing new humanitarian aid to Iran and Lebanon, without mentioning Hezbollah's role.
The current threat appears to extend beyond traditional trade and sanctions measures, signaling a potential weaponization of the cryptocurrency market as a new front in the economic conflict. It remains unclear whether the reported threat reflects official policy or a negotiating posture.
