China Calls for Stability in the Persian Gulf Amid Threat of Widening War

The Chinese government on Monday officially called on all parties to maintain security and stability in the Persian Gulf region. Beijing emphasized that stability in this vital waterway is in the common interest of the entire international community.

This statement was made by a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in response to rising tensions following military attacks by the US and Israel against Iran. Global concerns peaked after the Iranian parliament approved plans to close the Strait of Hormuz, a main route for about 20% of the world's oil supply.

As one of the largest energy importers in the world, China has a significant strategic interest in ensuring smooth traffic in the Persian Gulf. The call for de-escalation reflects Beijing's concerns about potential global economic disruptions that could result from a wider war in the Middle East.#ChinaDrama $BTC
