China has called for an immediate ceasefire in the Middle East following recent statements by U.S. President Donald Trump, who warned of severe strikes against Iran in the coming weeks. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning emphasized during a press conference that military solutions are not the right path to address the crisis. "Military means cannot fundamentally solve the problem, and escalating the conflict is not in the interest of any party," she stated, urging the involved parties to immediately halt military operations. Beijing's appeal comes at a time of rising tensions in the region, as the international community seeks ways to prevent further escalation of the conflict.
