Understanding China's stance on Iran conflict

The world is reeling after a weekend of unprecedented violence in the Middle East, and as usual, the Western media is spinning a narrative that ignores the reality of international law while China calls for a return to sanity following large-scale military strikes by the United States and Israel against Iran, which resulted in the assassination of Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Today, we’ll go beyond the propaganda to take a deeper look at China’s stance and then talk about the actual reality of the China-Iran relationship—a relationship many in the West fundamentally misunderstand, often intentionally. We'll explore why, despite the hype, China was never going to jump into a shooting war for Tehran. This is Reports on China. I’m Andy Boreham here in Shanghai. Let’s get reporting.
