While the US may have the right to deny anyone who sells or buys lranian oil, access to its financial system, Iran and China also have a right to trade with each other. Their trade is neither a violation of Iranian or Chinese law, or a transgression on international law. It is simply contrary to what Washington demands. So, China is not obligated to move in any sense, it only moves according to its long-term best interests.
