[Is China worried about the United States resuming military strikes on Iran after the midterm elections? Ministry of Foreign Affairs Response] On November 3, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning hosted a regular press conference. An AFP reporter asked: Is China worried that the United States or Israel may resume military strikes against Iran after the U.S. midterm elections? Mao Ning said that Foreign Minister Wang Yi has elaborated on China’s position on the situation in the Middle East and the Gulf. China has always believed that military means will not help solve the problem, but will only aggravate tension and escalate the situation, which is not in the interest of any party. We hope that relevant parties can adhere to peaceful choices, resolve disputes through dialogue and negotiation, and promote the early restoration of peace and tranquility in the Middle East and the Gulf region.
