13 April 2569 Guo Jiakun, spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. China said it opposes baseless accusations or malicious links following reports that China planned to supply weapons to Iran.

Guo stated that China takes a prudent, cautious, and responsible approach to exporting military products, and strictly controls such exports in accordance with domestic laws, regulations, and international obligations.

Furthermore, Guo stated that protecting the shipping lanes in the Strait of Hormuz to ensure their security, stability, and unrestricted passage is in the common interest of the international community.

The Strait of Hormuz is a vital route for international trade in goods and energy. The root cause of the disruption in the strait is the conflict with Iran, and the solution is a ceasefire as soon as possible.
