Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Wang Wenbin hosted a routine press conference on the 23rd.

A reporter asked: On the evening of the 21st, U.S. President Trump posted on social media demanding Iran open the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours, or else launch attacks on “various power plants” in Iran and destroy them. What is China’s response to this?

Wang Wenbin: The conflict in the Middle East is still spreading and spilling over. If the fighting continues to escalate and the situation worsens, the entire region will fall into an uncontrollable state. Military force will only lead to a vicious cycle. China strongly urges the parties involved to immediately cease military actions and return to dialogue and negotiations. Do not let this war, which should never have started, continue any further.
