From Fox News: China’s foreign minister reportedly said Beijing will send a special envoy to the Middle East for mediation efforts as regional tensions continue to escalate surrounding the conflict with Iran.
Foreign Minister Wang Yi was quoted telling his Saudi Arabian counterpart that China appreciates Saudi Arabia’s insistence of resolving disputes through peaceful means, Reuters reported, citing a statement from the Chinese Foreign Ministry.
In a phone call with the United Arab Emirates, Wang told his counterpart there that the “red line” of protecting civilians during conflicts should not be crossed and non-military targets must not be attacked, while also expressing a need for safety along the world’s shipping routes, Reuters added.
The news agency also quoted Wang telling Israel’s foreign minister Wednesday that China opposes the joint U.S. and Israel military action against Iran and that it must be halted immediately.
“Force cannot truly solve problems; instead, it often creates new ones and leaves serious long-term consequences. The real value of military power lies not on the battlefield but in preventing war,” he said.

…Does that mean its ally Iran has crossed the Chinese “red line”? It is a message as ironic as the Iranian Foreign Minister objecting to sinking an Iranian ship in “international waters.” Iran has been attacking ships in international waters for years through its proxies…
…Iran has attacked a variety of nations with indiscriminate attacks on civilian and non-civilian targets. It has threatened attacks to close the straits for years. Iran citing international law is akin to Jeffrey Epstein citing the Palermo Protocol on human trafficking.
