[Reuters, Beijing 17]-China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Hua Chun-soo criticized the attack on Saudi Arabia's oil facility at a press conference on the 17th with a stronger expression than the previous day. Avoided again.
US President Trump said on the 16th that Iran is likely to be behind the attack on Saudi oil facilities. However, Iran has denied such a view so far.
“The Chinese condemn this attack on Saudi oil facilities and oppose any attacks on civilians or private facilities,” said Wah. The day before, he stated that it was irresponsible to blame someone without definitive facts.
On the other hand, as with the previous day, “the parties concerned should avoid actions that increase regional tensions”.
China has a close relationship with both Saudi and Iran in the economic and energy sectors, and careful consideration is required when dealing with both countries.
