The Trump administration has stepped up its efforts to track tankers linked to China’s biggest state-run oil company in response to signs that the vessels are helping to transport Iranian crude in defiance of US sanctions against Tehran.
“They are hiding their activity,” Samir Madani, the co-founder of TankerTrackers.com, told the New York Times in July. “They don’t want to broadcast the fact that they have been in Iran, evading sanctions. It’s that simple.”

Apparently the reason is straightforward. US currently is sanctioning Iran as it prepares to attack, thus expect the rest of world to follow suit.
That way more oil is left for western contractors to acquire post-invasion. As has been incrementally done with various Mideast territories' oil in the past few decades.
The U.S. Does not have the right to know everything about everybody, China isn't hiding takers, it's simply not telling the world where they are, and China has the right to trade with whoever it wants, that's the very essence of the free market.
