U.S. media reported today: "According to three sources who informed CNN, in addition to the intelligence support and target data provided by Russia to Iran, the U.S. has also received intelligence indicating that China may be preparing to join the Middle East conflict, providing financial assistance, components, and missile parts to Iran. China relies on Iranian oil, and according to reports, China has been pressuring Tehran to allow ships to safely pass through the Strait of Hormuz."
Comment: This news from CNN is a typical case of setting the verdict first and then looking for evidence. On one hand, it distorts China's normal economic and trade cooperation into "joining the Middle East conflict," and on the other hand, it deliberately ignores China's repeated emphasis on its position of resolving issues through diplomacy and politics. Even more absurdly, it slanders China's demand for ensuring the safety of shipping lanes and maintaining global energy stability as "pressure" on Iran — completely reversing the facts. The so-called "China is preparing to join the conflict" essentially means that the U.S. is forcing China to get involved in its messed-up Middle East situation, shifting responsibility, fabricating false intelligence to create division, and covering up its own diplomatic failure and the intensifying regional conflicts.
