China says it opposes any violation of Lebanon’s sovereignty, according to a post on the country’s foreign ministry website.
The statement comes after Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was killed in an Israeli airstrike
Beijing says it is “deeply concerned” and “closely following” soaring tensions in the Middle East in the wake of the killing of the terror chief.
“China is closely following this incident and deeply concerned about the escalation of tensions in the region,” Beijing’s foreign ministry says in a statement, urging “all parties, particularly Israel, to take immediate steps to cool down the situation.”
