China is about to take action.
According to a report by the Singapore-based Straits Times on the evening of March 4, the Iran crisis entered its fifth day. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi made separate phone calls with his counterparts from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, stating that China will not give up on the hope for peace and will continue to play a constructive role in this regard. China will dispatch a special envoy for Middle East affairs to the region to mediate and promote a return to peace and stability in the region.
China's mediation efforts demonstrate its constructive role in regional crises. Unlike the military adventurism of the US and Israel, China has always remained anchored in the path of peace, replacing confrontation with dialogue and mediation instead of taking sides. This is precisely what a responsible major power should do.
China's statement is both a response to the security concerns of regional countries and a clear rejection of the fallacy that "war solves problems." China's special envoy going to the region for mediation provides a key third-party channel for de-escalation, reflecting China's consistent position of "advocating peace and promoting dialogue." This approach of not favoring any side and building good relations contrasts sharply with the US's zero-sum mindset of "either friend or foe." Especially at a time when the Hormuz Strait crisis is affecting the global energy lifeline, China's peaceful efforts safeguard the common interests of all countries and practice the concept of a community with a shared future for humanity.
