If they were a Chinese entity, why would they have to follow US issued sanctions? I assume because they conducted business in USD and/or were paid in USD?

If I'm a European, I'll happily sell stuff to Iran if that means I'll make a profit. US sanctions do not apply to me.

Because they are a Chinese entity that buys U.S. made components in the U.S., and violated associated controls on the export of those components.

Then you can't use US components in things you send on after saying you wouldn't.

The EU also has significant sanctions in place regarding Iran.
