During a recent visit to Beijing, US President Donald Trump announced that Chinese President Xi Jinping assured him that China would not supply military equipment to Iran. Trump emphasized that Xi made this commitment strongly, indicating a clear stance on the matter. Additionally, Xi expressed willingness to assist in reopening the Strait of Hormuz, which has been closed since the conflict involving Iran, the United States, and Israel began on February 28. This strategic waterway is crucial for global oil transit, and Xi's offer comes amid heightened geopolitical tensions following military strikes by the US and Israel against Iran earlier this year. Trump characterized his talks with Xi as 'extremely positive' and noted a cooperative tone between the two leaders despite long-standing disagreements over trade and technology. The discussions included a state banquet with major American business leaders, and Trump invited Xi and Chinese First Lady Peng Liyuan to visit the White House in September. Further discussions are planned before Trump returns to Washington.
