There are reports that China may urge Iran and the United States to first stop fighting for two weeks and then continue negotiations.

yīn wèi因为rú guǒ如果shuāng fāng双方tánchōng tū冲突kě néng可能biàn dé变得gèng

Because if the two sides do not talk, the conflict could become even bigger.

měi guó美国zhī qián之前fā chū发出qiáng yìng强硬jǐng gào警告yī lǎng伊朗wēi xié威胁yàofǎn jī反击hǎi wān海湾dì qū地区

The United States previously issued a strong warning, and Iran also threatened to retaliate in the Gulf region.

zhè yàng yī lái这样一来zhōng dōng中东deshí yóu石油chū kǒu出口kě néng可能huìshòu dào受到hěnyǐng xiǎng影响

As a result, Middle Eastern oil exports could be greatly affected.

China imports a lot of oil by sea, and much of it comes from Iran and Gulf countries.

If oil transportation runs into problems, China’s economy would take a heavy hit, and daily life and industry would become more difficult.

Of course, China does not want to see this happen, so it may hope that Iran will calm down first and use negotiations instead of war.

The Chinese side did not directly say what it did, but it did say that it had made efforts on this matter.

There is still no fully confirmed public evidence, but many people believe that China may indeed be quietly helping to ease tensions, because peace is more in everyone’s interest than a long-term conflict.
