SINGAPORE (Reuters) -China is the main buyer of oil from Iran, which accounts for roughly 13.6% of purchases this year by the world's largest crude importer, leaving Beijing uniquely exposed to any supply disruption from conflict in the Middle East.

Before Saturday evening’s strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, the Chinese Communist Party had demanded that Israel end its attacks on the Islamic Republic and the United States to withhold itself from the conflict.

“Iran is harmed, but also harmed is U.S. credibility — as a country and as a party to any international negotiations,” Fu Cong, China’s ambassador to the United Nations, told China’s state broadcaster on Sunday.

China has criticized the US strike on Iranian nuclear facilities and reiterated that it’s willing to join international efforts to restore peace in the Middle East. Bloomberg's Minmin Low reports on the latest.
