China has issued a sharp diplomatic response amid rising tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, directly blaming the United States and Israel for the ongoing crisis in the region.

In its statement, Beijing described the conflict as the “root cause” of disruptions in the vital maritime route, urging all parties to immediately de-escalate tensions and move toward a ceasefire.

The Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most important oil transit chokepoints, has become a major geopolitical flashpoint as military activity and political pressure intensify across the Middle East.

China emphasized that maintaining stability and free passage through the strait is in the “common interest of the international community,” and warned that continued escalation could severely impact global energy security.

As tensions rise between major global powers, concerns are growing over potential disruptions to oil supply chains, shipping routes, and broader regional stability.
