In response to media inquiry that US President Donald Trump claimed that the Iranian cargo ship intercepted by the US may be carrying a so-called "gift from China," and a question about the items transported on the ship, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said on Friday that China opposes any accusations and implications that lack a factual basis, and normal international trade between countries should not be disrupted or undermined.
