Bloomberg reported: "China is pressuring Iran to keep the Strait of Hormuz open, avoiding attacks on oil and liquefied natural gas transport vessels... China urges Tehran not to attack energy transport routes that are crucial to global and Chinese markets."
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not directly confirm the specific term "pressure" mentioned in Bloomberg's report, but clearly called on all parties to maintain the safety of the strait's waterway.
Previously, there were reports that Iran had allowed Chinese ships to pass through. After confirmation, the reports were false.
Iran has implemented a non-discriminatory ban, which applies to all ships, regardless of nationality.
Iran has not given a green light to Chinese ships. Currently, the passage through the Strait of Hormuz for all ships, including Chinese ships, has been closed, and they face the risk of real-fire attacks.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran has announced the closure of the strait and will strike any vessel attempting to pass through. A large number of ships have stopped sailing or taken alternative routes, and GPS signals are also severely interfered with.
Chinese diplomatic efforts and reminders: The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs called for an end to hostilities, requested the strait to remain open, and ensure the safety of energy transportation.
U.S. media reporting that China is pressuring Iran is malicious, aiming to sow discord between the two countries.
War was instigated by the United States, and Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is a countermeasure against U.S. aggressive actions. China calls for an end to hostilities and maintaining the openness of the strait, rather than solely pressuring Iran.
