Today's report from Lianhe Zaobao of Singapore states: "In response to U.S. media reports claiming that China is preparing to deliver weapons to Iran, President Trump said on Saturday (April 11): 'If China does this, China will face big trouble.'"
Regarding the false report by U.S. media outlet CNN, citing so-called 'U.S. intelligence,' the Chinese side has firmly denied it and reiterated its consistent position: China has never supplied weapons to any party involved in the conflict. Trump's baseless and reckless threats, reacting to mere rumors, are clearly an attempt to scapegoat others for the failure of his Middle East policy. Previously, the ceasefire between Iran and the U.S. was widely recognized as having been significantly facilitated by China—Trump himself had previously hinted at acknowledging this role. Now, however, he suddenly turns hostile with threats, once again revealing his fickle and unpredictable nature! China's stance on Middle East affairs has always been open and principled, consistently advocating peace and dialogue—how could such a posture be intimidated by hegemonic bullying? Trump's threats are nothing but empty bluster, incapable of frightening an independent and self-reliant China.
