China's Foreign Ministry on Tuesday issued a statement expressing 'deep concern' over 'the renewal of military conflict' in the Gulf region, according to a single-sourced report on Telegram.

On July 8, Beijing criticized both the US and Iran for escalating tensions. The new statement continues a pattern of Chinese calls for restraint and diplomatic solutions, without explicitly naming specific actors or recent events.
