00:00China has now spoken out on the growing tensions around Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, and
00:06Beijing's message is clear.
00:08The Strait of Hormuz is not just an issue between Iran and the United States, it is
00:13a global issue.
00:15Here's why.
00:16China confirmed that the agreement between Iran and the U.S. included plans to reopen
00:22the Strait of Hormuz.
00:23And according to Beijing, restoring safe and free navigation through the strait as soon
00:29as possible is in the interest of everyone.
00:32Not just Iran, not just the United States, but all countries that depend on this key trade
00:38route.
00:39The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most important waterways.
00:43A huge share of global energy supplies passes through it every day, so any disruption can
00:49affect economies far beyond the Middle East.
00:53China also revealed that it is in contact with relevant countries and the international
00:57community regarding the situation.
01:00But there was another important message.
01:02Beijing confirmed that Chinese ships are currently operating in the Strait of Hormuz, and China
01:09says it will continue taking steps to protect the safety of its vessels and crew members.
01:14In other words, China has direct interests in the region and is closely watching developments.
01:20Meanwhile, China was also asked about the situation involving Lebanon and Israel.
01:26Beijing said it is deeply concerned.
01:29China stressed that Lebanon's sovereignty and security must be respected.
01:34It also called on all sides to avoid further escalation and work toward peaceful solutions.
01:41According to Beijing, the focus should be on implementing ceasefire agreements and creating conditions for
01:47lasting peace in the Middle East.
01:49At the same briefing, China highlighted a major diplomatic visit by Foreign Minister Wang Yi to Mongolia.
01:57During the visit, Mongolia reaffirmed that relations with China remain a top foreign policy priority.
02:04Mongolia also repeated its support for the One China policy and opposed any form of Taiwan independence.
02:12The two countries additionally voiced opposition to fascism and militarism in all forms.
02:18On the economic front, China pushed back against claims that foreign companies are moving away from the Chinese market.
02:26Beijing cited a survey showing that many American companies still consider China important to their global business operations.
02:34China argued that despite political tensions, businesses continue to invest and expand in the country.
02:41Finally, China confirmed it recently worked with the United Nations on a training program
02:46focused on controlling small arms and light weapons in Africa's Great Lakes region.
02:52The initiative was linked to China's broader security and development partnerships across Africa.
02:58And then came one of the most sensitive questions of the briefing.
03:02A reporter asked China to respond to allegations from the European Union
03:07that Beijing has been training Russian military personnel involved in the war in Ukraine.
03:13China did not address that question during the briefing.
03:16And in international politics, sometimes what is not said can be just as important as what is said.
03:24China did not make the same thing in the future to INTIME moore, as the Republican network should not kill
03:26such as the coordinate groups as far as theranean community.
