China has raised alarm over escalating tensions in the Middle East, urging restraint after Israel's recent air strikes in Syria. Geng Shuang, China's deputy UN envoy, called the attacks ⚠️ a 'grave violation of Syria's sovereignty' that risks pushing the region toward chaos.
Speaking at the UN Security Council, Geng stressed: 'Major powers outside the region must play a constructive role in de-escalation.' He emphasized China's support for a Syrian-led political solution and praised UN efforts to mediate peace talks.
💥 The humanitarian crisis in Syria remains dire, with stalled aid operations and economic struggles worsened by sanctions. Geng urged global powers to stop unilateral measures and 'end their illegal military presence' in Syria.
This comes as cross-strait relief efforts face roadblocks, leaving millions vulnerable. China doubled down on anti-terrorism cooperation but warned against 'double standards' in addressing security challenges.
