What we don't know
Open questions are tracked here until evidence answers them. The Truism never fills a gap with an assumption.
- How the US plans to enforce sanctions against major Chinese financial or energy institutions.
- What specific countermeasures Beijing will take if its companies are targeted.
- Whether any Chinese companies or institutions have already been designated, rather than merely threatened with sanctions.
- The timeframe and evidence underlying the claim that China is the largest purchaser of Iranian crude oil.
