China calls on all parties to the conflict in the Middle East to shoulder their responsibilities and immediately stop military operations, Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said at a press briefing in Beijing on Wednesday.
He made the statement when asked to confirm whether any Chinese vessels had passed smoothly through the Strait of Hormuz after Iran announced it would allow ships from "non-hostile countries" to transit the waterway.
