China says will play 'greater role' in ending Middle East conflict China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Beijing would play a “greater role” in ending hostilities in the Middle East during talks with his Iranian counterpart on Wednesday, a week before US President Donald Trump is due to meet Xi Jinping . China is a key customer for Iranian oil, defying sanctions imposed by the United States, and is directly affected by the blockage of the Strait of Hormuz, bordered by Iran. Beijing has quietly engaged in efforts to resolve the weekslong crisis and its diplomacy is credited with playing an important role in the fragile ceasefire agreed between Washington and Tehran.

China issues injunction to block US sanctions on companies buying Iranian oil China’s Ministry of Commerce has issued an injunction to block US sanctions imposed on five Chinese oil refineries accused of purchasing Iranian oil. State news agency Xinhua reported that the ministry named the companies as Hengli Petrochemical (Dalian) Refinery, Shandong Jincheng Petrochemical Group, Hebei Xinhai Chemical Group, Shouguang Luqing Petrochemical and Shandong Shengxing Chemical. After the US Treasury Department imposed sanctions last week on a unit of Hengli Petrochemical, which it said had purchased billions of dollars’ worth of Iranian petroleum, China’s foreign ministry said unilateral US sanctions “have no basis in international law” and that it would seek to defend the targeted companies.

Animal rights advocates were crowing on Saturday after Korean Air banned transporting roosters on flights from the United States to the Philippines, which has a huge cockfighting industry. Filipinos wager tens of millions of dollars daily, by some industry estimates, as they watch two roosters armed with metal spurs fight to the death in clashes that can end in less than a minute. The US is an important source of roosters for these fights, according to activists as well as local breeder Eduardo Eugenio, who told AFP shutting down US imports would have a “huge impact”.

Brent crude, the international benchmark, fell 5.8 percent to $103.54 a barrel after climbing above $115 earlier this week. The decline came after US President Donald Trump said the Strait of Hormuz could be “OPEN TO ALL” if Iran agrees to a reported deal, though he did not provide further details.
