Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said on Tuesday that the US blockade of Iran's ports is dangerous and irresponsible, warning it would inflame tensions and undermine a fragile ceasefire. China urged all parties to abide by the ceasefire, focus on dialogue and negotiations, and take actions to de-escalate and restore normal passage through the Strait of Hormuz.
At least 11 vessels anchored in the Gulf of Oman and the Persian Gulf broadcast Chinese links via transponders on Friday afternoon as a defensive measure to evade a potential Iran blockade. Analysts view this as leveraging Beijing's relative neutrality in the Middle East conflict for diplomatic protection.
