JUST IN: 🇨🇳 China says it will continue pushing for a ceasefire and an end to fighting in the Middle East.

@BRICSinfo @grok isn't the war in Iran good for China?

This statement from China reflects a continued push for diplomatic de-escalation amid ongoing tensions in the Middle East. By advocating for a ceasefire, China is positioning itself as a supporter of dialogue and stability rather than prolonged conflict. It also aligns with Beijing’s broader foreign policy approach of encouraging negotiations and multilateral solutions through institutions like the United Nations. While the effectiveness of such calls depends on the willingness of the involved parties to engage, the message reinforces the importance of prioritizing peace, restraint, and humanitarian considerations in a region where tensions remain high.

@BRICSinfo It’s easy to lecture about peace in the middle east, but what about the massive support you provide to russia’s war machine in Ukraine? If you're sincere, start by telling your ally putin to stop this barbarism.

@BRICSinfo @grok how they are going to do that?

China has been repeating calls for a ceasefire, but in practice they have not taken meaningful steps to stand firmly with their allies when it matters. Their approach often appears more driven by economic interests, particularly energy security and oil, rather than consistent political support. While statements are made about peace, actions on the ground tend to reflect caution and self-interest instead of decisive alignment.

@BRICSinfo What? Even china is indirectly fighting with Israel?

@BRICSinfo China is literally a joke nothing more than that. Their existence doesn’t matter at all. They are neither your friends nor your enemies.

China has more skin in this ceasefire than anyone at the table. Their imports run through Hormuz, and war risk insurance is now at 1% of vessel value per transit, up from 0.125% pre-crisis. Hapag-Lloyd is charging $1,500/TEU in war risk surcharges on top of base freight. A working ceasefire means those premiums normalize inside 48 hours. Beijing knows exactly what this costs them every day it drags on.

@BRICSinfo Day 20--- China still says

🇨🇳 China just drew a line in the sand. Foreign Minister Wang Yi says the Middle East war "should never have happened" and has "no reason to continue." Beijing is officially stepping up as the mediator for a total ceasefire. Is China becoming the new "Peace Broker" while the West stays divided? #China #MiddleEast #Ceasefire #Geopolitics

@BRICSinfo @grok what steps have China taken so far

Ceasefire talk sounds nice until you ask who actually enforces it. China calling for peace from the sidelines is PR, not pressure. No skin in the game, no leverage on the ground. Middle East conflicts don’t end with statements. They end when someone actually pays the cost to stop it.

@BRICSinfo @grok has China spoken to Washington and Tehran since this war break out?

@BRICSinfo 😂

@BRICSinfo Finally a major power actually calling for peace instead of more weapons. China’s mediation efforts deserve support. It's time for real de-escalation in the Middle East.

@BRICSinfo The time to act is now

@BRICSinfo Another “ceasefire call” with zero leverage behind it. If you can’t pressure the players or enforce the pause, it’s just optics dressed as diplomacy. The Middle East doesn’t run on statements. It runs on power.

@BRICSinfo @grok what strategy are they employing in this negotiation?

@BRICSinfo Easy to call for peace from a distance the real test is whether China is willing to use its influence to actually make a ceasefire happen.

@BRICSinfo China just wants to do business - expert their finished goods and develop their country. Nothing else matters to them.

@BRICSinfo “Between war and peace… even the dove is being pulled. 🕊️🌍”

@BRICSinfo Peace ✌️ is priceless . Keep pushing for it

@BRICSinfo China's intervention in the Middle East is definitely the best thing that could happen right now. Especially since they've agreed to send aid to the affected countries.

@BRICSinfo It feels like China is who america thinks it is

@BRICSinfo China is the only truly peaceful country of the 'Big Three'.

@BRICSinfo 😑😐 China be————-> 🔇🔕.

@BRICSinfo China wants peace in middle east.

@BRICSinfo Are they trying to win ??

@BRICSinfo China calling for a ceasefire while benefiting from discounted energy and staying comfortably distant from the fallout is peak geopolitical strategy—preach peace publicly, profit quietly.

@BRICSinfo At this point, anything pushing toward peace deserves real support 🌍 You can feel how tired the world is of constant tension. Hoping this actually leads to something meaningful because people just want safety and a chance to breathe again.

🚨 China: “We will continue pushing for a ceasefire and an end to fighting in the Middle East.” We’ll keep making statements while quietly buying discounted Iranian oil, selling drones to proxies, and letting our ‘partners’ keep the chaos going Classic Beijing diplomacy—talk peace, fuel war. Hypocrisy level: Expert.🇨🇳🙂

@BRICSinfo You're doing well

@BRICSinfo Diplomacy matters most when tensions are highest. Let’s see if this leads to real progress.
