Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, in a phone call with Israel, stated that China opposes the US and Israel's military strikes against Iran and calls for an immediate cessation of military action. This is a clear strategic warning; the situation should not be pushed to an irreversible point.

China emphasized that Israel must protect the safety of Chinese personnel and institutions. The so-called "China Anti-Semitism Report" published by an Israeli think tank could be used as a pretext to target Chinese citizens and institutions in Israel, with irreversible consequences. The people are always China's bottom line.

Israeli Foreign Minister Sa'ar expressed his high regard for and commitment to protecting the safety of Chinese citizens and institutions.

In his conversation with Iran, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi stated that China supports Iran in safeguarding its sovereignty, opposes the US and Israel's military action, and respects the legitimate concerns of neighboring countries. China is working to bring both sides back to the negotiating table.Editor/Cao Tianyi
