China delivered a blunt message at the United Nations, calling for peace and rejecting unilateral military action amid the Iran conflict. In his UN speech, Chinese Vice President Han Zheng said, “The world wants peace, not war,” while urging countries to settle disputes through dialogue and consultation. China also called for respect for the sovereignty and security of Middle Eastern countries, including those in the Gulf, and opposed military actions that violate the UN Charter or bypass Security Council authorization. The remarks come as tensions continue over the U.S.-Iran conflict, with Beijing emphasizing multilateralism, international law and diplomacy as the path forward.
