Trump announces resumption of naval blockade on Iran, China expresses its position
On July 14, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Lin Jian hosted a regular press conference. A foreign media reporter asked: U.S. President Trump announced the restoration of a naval blockade against Iran, but China had previously expressed opposition to this. Is China willing to take specific measures to deal with this situation? If so, what actions will China take? Lin Jian said that China is deeply concerned about the resumption of military conflicts in the Gulf region, and calls on all relevant parties to comply with the strong international and regional calls for peace and stability, maintain rational restraint, maintain the hard-won ceasefire, and prevent the resumption of war, let alone allow the war to expand and harm innocent people.

Lin Jian pointed out that it is the common aspiration of the international community to respect the legitimate rights and interests of countries along the Strait of Hormuz and restore normal and safe passage of the Strait as soon as possible. All relevant parties should meet each other halfway and deal with it properly. China is willing to continue to uphold the spirit of President Xi Jinping's four-point proposition and make unremitting efforts to promote the cooling and stabilization of the situation in the Middle East and the Gulf.
