China expresses “deep concern” over US-Israeli strikes in Iran but avoids direct condemnation, urging all parties to halt military actions.
China’s Official Response
China has responded to the US-Israeli operation in Iran with general statements, noting that the airstrikes violate international law and expressing opposition to forceful solutions. The country’s foreign ministry has voiced “deep concern” over the situation.
“We call on all parties to cease military actions and prevent the spread of conflict,” stated a spokeswoman for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs yesterday.
Beijing’s Careful Diplomacy
China appears to be weighing its words carefully in its response to the escalating tensions in the Middle East. This measured approach may reflect an attempt to court Arab states while maintaining relations with both Iran and the United States.
