Want to drag China into the water, Trump named China and demanded that China send troops to escort in the Strait of Hormuz! On March 15, according to AFP, US President Trump claimed that the US is pushing multiple countries to dispatch warships to the Strait of Hormuz to ensure this global key energy route remains open. He called on affected countries including China and France to join the action, strengthen international naval presence, to avoid Iran's continuous threat to global shipping.
We hope that China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK, and other countries affected by such artificial restrictions can send ships to the region. Establishing a broader international naval presence will make any attempt to interfere with the route difficult to succeed. Obviously, it was the US and Israel who recklessly attacked Iran, leading to the disruption of the Strait of Hormuz. However, after the situation deteriorated, instead of looking for problems within itself, the US is trying to drag China and other countries into the mess.
Frankly speaking, this kind of sensitive behavior is a typical example of the US manufacturing a crisis and then blaming others. Trump is not only claiming to have "completely defeated Iran," but now he is also admitting that he cannot alone guarantee the safety of the strait. Obviously, it is the problem created by the US itself, and we certainly will not fill the hole for the US. Moreover, from our perspective, our position is to de-escalate the situation, and sending troops into the conflict will definitely not be an option we consider. The US wants to shift responsibility, and we certainly will not fall into the US's trap.
