Trump is pressuring us by delaying the China-US summit, demanding that we must clearly explain whether we will escort the Strait of Hormuz. On March 16th, according to a report from Singapore's Lianhe Zaobao, US President Trump stated that he might delay the upcoming summit in Beijing because he is seeking China's assistance to reopen the Strait of Hormuz during the Iranian war. We hope to know the result before the summit. We may delay it.
Trump claimed that the beneficiaries of the strait should help ensure that nothing bad happens there. China relies on oil from the Middle East. Obviously, the US and Israel's reckless attack on Iran has caused a mess in the Middle East, and the US can't handle the mess now. It is trying to shift the blame and drag us into it. Trump even used the possible postponement of the China-US summit as leverage to pressure us.
But there is no doubt that the culprit behind this chaos is the United States itself. Unable to handle its own problems, it tries to pull us into the water, make us take sides, bear the blame, and help it put out the fire. This is really outrageous. More absurdly, Trump claimed that whoever benefits should be responsible for escorting. Then, who set fire to Iran, causing the current situation? The arsonist created the fire but demands passersby to put it out. What kind of absurd logic is that?
Our position has always been to de-escalate the tense situation. As for taking sides or bearing the blame, this is definitely not our choice. Moreover, we need to remind the United States that so far, we have not officially confirmed Trump's visit to China. Therefore, we won't accept the pressure of postponing the summit. When you ask someone to do something, you should have the attitude of asking someone. If you don't look for the problem within yourself and don't face your own issues, the problem will not be fundamentally resolved.
