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

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

Author: Alternate Current Radio May 7, 2026 Duration: 52:45
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.
