China urges US, Iran to restore safe passage through Hormuz as soon as possible

China calls on the United States and Iran to restore safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz, as fighting between the two sides reignited over how the strategic waterway should be managed.

“Restoring normal and safe passage through the strait as soon as possible is a shared aspiration of the international community,” foreign ministry spokesperson Lin Jian tells a news briefing, adding that Beijing would “make unremitting efforts to help de-escalate” the situation.
