(Central News Agency reporter Zhang Shuli, Beijing, 6th) Beijing has yet to officially announce US President Trump's visit. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said today that China and the US are maintaining communication on this matter, and that China will work to promote de-escalation of the situation in the Hormuz Strait.
The Beijing Daily app reported today that Lin Jian, at a regular press conference of the Chinese Foreign Ministry today, responded to relevant questions by saying that China and the US are maintaining communication regarding Donald Trump's visit to China. However, when asked for more details, he only replied, "You can continue to pay attention."
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent recently stated that US President Trump plans to visit China on May 14-15 and has no intention of delaying the trip. At the same time, at least four US military transport planes have arrived in Beijing in recent days, which is widely believed to be transporting materials needed for Trump's visit to China.
In addition, Bessent recently asked Beijing to support international action to open the Hormuz Strait and accused China of obstructing relevant resolutions at the United Nations. When asked about these Iran-related issues, Lin Jian said that China's position on the situation in the Hormuz Strait is clear: it hopes all relevant parties will act prudently, avoid escalation, resolve disputes through dialogue, and restore peace and tranquility to the strait as soon as possible.
He said that China will continue to make efforts to promote the de-escalation of the situation in the strait and will continue to fully safeguard the safety of Chinese-invested ships and Chinese crew members.
When asked whether China had asked Iran to stop attacking ships carrying products exported by other Persian Gulf countries, Lin Jian said that only by achieving a comprehensive cessation of hostilities as soon as possible can the necessary conditions be created to alleviate the tensions in the Hormuz Strait.
He said that China's position is clear: the sovereign security and territorial integrity of the countries along the Hormuz Strait should be respected, the legitimate concerns of regional countries should be taken seriously, and the legitimate interests of the international community should also be safeguarded.
