Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning

When asked to confirm foreign media reports that Iran and China are close to reaching an agreement on the purchase of CM-302 supersonic anti ship missiles, which, if delivered, would be among the most advanced weapons China has provided to Iran in recent years, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said at a press conference on Monday that the relevant reports are not true. Mao said as a responsible major country, China has always fulfilled its international obligations, adding that China opposes malicious association and hype, and hopes relevant parties will do more to help ease tensions.
