Ormuz: China Draws Its Red Line Against American Blockade

Chinese Defense Minister Admiral Dong Jun warned the United States against interfering in China's trade relations with Iran following the implementation of an American naval blockade on Iranian ports. The U.S. Central Command announced this maritime blockade, controlling all traffic to and from Iran. China, the world's largest importer of Iranian crude oil, heavily relies on the Strait of Hormuz for its energy supplies, and a prolonged closure could impact its industrial production.
