China has sharply criticized recent military actions by the U.S. and Israel against Iran, calling the strikes "unacceptable" and urging immediate de-escalation. 🌍✋
China's Firm Stance
At a press briefing today, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Mao Ning declared the attacks violated international law, emphasizing: "The blatant targeting of sovereign leadership and attempts to incite regime change undermine global stability." She called for all parties to "return to negotiations without delay."
Global Reactions
The statement comes amid rising tensions in the Middle East, with China positioning itself as a vocal advocate for multilateral solutions. Analysts suggest Beijing aims to strengthen its role as a diplomatic mediator this year, particularly in energy-rich regions critical to its Belt and Road Initiative.
Mao's remarks also included a rare direct appeal to the UN: "The international community must jointly oppose unilateral actions that threaten peace."
