On July 14, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Lin Jian presided over a regular press conference. Some foreign media reporters asked questions. US President Trump announced the resumption of the naval blockade against Iran, and China had previously expressed opposition to this. May I ask if China is willing to take concrete measures to deal with this situation? If so, what actions will the Chinese side take? Lin Jian said that China is concerned about the resurgence of military conflict in the Gulf region and calls on all parties concerned to respond to strong international and regional calls for “peace and stability,” maintain rational restraint, maintain the hard-won cease-fire situation, prevent the war from reigniting, and let alone allow the fighting to expand and injure innocent people. Lin Jian pointed out that respecting the legitimate rights and interests of the countries bordering the Strait of Hormuz and restoring normal and safe passage in the strait as soon as possible is the common desire of the international community, and all parties concerned should move in the opposite direction and handle it properly.
