China hopes that the Iranian government and people can overcome the current difficult situation and maintain national stability, said foreign ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning at a press conference in Beijing on Monday.
U.S. President Donald Trump said Sunday that his administration is weighing "some very strong options," including potential military action against Iran, following mounting reports of unrest within the country.
When asked to comment on Trump's remarks, Mao said that "We have always opposed interference in other countries' internal affairs, advocated that the sovereignty and security of all nations should be fully protected by international law, and opposed the use or threat of use of force in international relations. We call on all parties to do more to contribute to peace and stability in the Middle East."
China hopes Iran will overcome difficulty, maintain stability: spokeswoman
A Chinese central government spokesperson on Wednesday condemned the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities in China's Taiwan region for promising huge purchases from the United States at the expense of the interests of compatriots in Taiwan.
Zhang Han, a spokesperson for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, slammed the DPP authorities for selling out Taiwan's interests at a press conference in Beijing.
"The United States, wielding tariffs as a weapon of extreme pressure, has been hollowing out Taiwan's industries. Such economic bullying is doomed to fail. In disregard of the people's well-being in Taiwan region, the DPP authorities shamelessly knelt before the United States, promised massive purchases, significantly opened market and helped relocate Taiwan's core industries. As a result, they spent a fortune on a worthless ticket. This once again proves that the DPP authorities, in an attempt to seek secession with foreign support, willingly play the role of pawns, only to backfire and become a laughingstock," Zhang said.
