(Central News Agency, Taipei, 16th) Reuters reported that China’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations Fu Cong said on the 15th that the United States and Bahrain jointly sponsored a draft resolution on the Strait of Hormuz. The relevant content and the timing of the proposal were inappropriate, and passing the draft would not help solve the Strait of Hormuz issue. Reuters reported on the 15th that the draft resolution between the United States and Bahrain requires Iran to stop attacks and mine-laying activities in the Strait of Hormuz. Diplomats believe that if the draft comes to a vote, it is likely to be rejected by Russia and China. In a vote last month, China and Russia vetoed the draft supported by the United States, saying that the content of the draft was biased against Iran. The report cited an instant interview with Fu Cong released by the Pass Blue news website. When asked about the draft resolution between the United States and Bahrain, Fu Cong said, “We think the content of the draft is inappropriate and the timing of the proposal is inappropriate. What we need is to urge the warring parties to negotiate seriously and sincerely to resolve the issue.” Fu Cong said, “We do not believe that passing this draft resolution at this stage will help solve the problem.” As the rotating president of the Security Council, China has the responsibility to arrange a vote on the draft, but so far it has not received any application. U.S. President Trump concluded his visit to China on the 15th. According to a summary released by the White House after the Trump-Xi meeting, the United States and China agreed that the Strait of Hormuz must remain open to ensure the free flow of energy. China opposed the militarization of the Strait of Hormuz and any collection of tolls. Both sides agreed that Iran cannot possess nuclear weapons. The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated on the 15th that the recent ceasefire between the United States and Iran has been welcomed by the international community, and the waterway should be reopened as soon as possible to jointly maintain the stability and smoothness of the global production and supply chain.
