China Just Defied U.S. Sanctions | Silk and Steel

China Just Defied U.S. Sanctions | Silk and Steel

Author: UK Column May 7, 2026 Duration: 52:44

In this explosive conversation, Carl Zha joins Jamar Thomas to break down why China openly defies United States sanctions for the first time — and what it could mean for the global balance of power.


Carl explains how Beijing responded after Washington sanctioned major Chinese refineries tied to Iranian oil imports, why China now refuses to comply with U.S. secondary sanctions, and why this moment may represent a major turning point in global geopolitics.


The discussion dives deep into:


• China’s response to U.S. sanctions

• Iranian oil flows and the global energy market

• The strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz

• Rare earth minerals and economic warfare

• Why China believes the U.S. is overplaying its hand

• Oil shortages, fertilizer prices, and food supply fears

• Trump’s expected trip to Beijing

• The future of the dollar system and global trade


Carl also argues that the world might now enter a new era where countries no longer automatically comply with Washington’s economic pressure campaigns.

Tune in to UK Column News, a daily podcast from the independent news organisation of the same name. This isn't a recap of headlines from the mainstream wire services. Instead, the team at UK Column digs into the stories and narratives shaping public perception, focusing on what they term the 'information war.' Each episode provides analysis you're unlikely to find elsewhere, examining the interplay between government policy, media reporting, and institutional influence. Because they operate without any corporate backing, advertising, or funding from political groups, their perspective is uniquely supported by their audience through memberships and donations. This independence is the core of the podcast, allowing for straightforward commentary free from external pressures. Listeners will hear detailed discussions on current events in the UK and beyond, often connecting dots between seemingly separate issues to present a broader picture of governance and societal change. The tone is analytical and deliberate, prioritising depth over soundbites. For those seeking an alternative to conventional news cycles and curious about the mechanics behind the stories that dominate the day, this podcast offers a consistent and critical voice. It’s for anyone who questions the prevailing narrative and wants news analysis that answers to its listeners, not to sponsors or shareholders.
