Xinhua News Agency, March 15: "U.S. President Trump called on countries such as China to dispatch warships to escort in the Strait of Hormuz, which has been blockaded by Iran. However, experts interviewed pointed out that China has always advocated resolving the Iranian issue through political means and has remained relatively cautious and restrained in its response so far, making it unlikely that China would participate in the escort mission."
Although the U.S. and Israel have jointly struck against Iran, killing many senior officials, they have not achieved their expected goals. Iran's counterattacks have been strong, especially the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, which has caused global oil and gas tensions, prices surging, and a significant increase in inflation pressure. Trump is now in a difficult position, and in a desperate move, he called on multiple countries, including China, to join him in sharing the burden, but has been repeatedly rejected. Former allies such as France, Japan, and Norway have clearly distanced themselves, unwilling to pay for America's military adventures.
As experts said, China's position is clear and consistent: it has always advocated resolving the Iranian issue through dialogue and consultation, firmly opposes military adventures that escalate regional tensions, and has always maintained a cautious and restrained attitude to safeguard regional peace and stability. It will definitely not participate in the escort missions orchestrated by the U.S. to involve other countries. This position aligns with the common interests of the international community and demonstrates the responsibility of a major country.
