China calls US blockade of Iran ports ‘dangerous and irresponsible’

China has condemned the United States over its blockade of Iranian ports, describing Washington’s actions as “dangerous and irresponsible” amid soaring tensions in the Gulf. US President Donald Trump ordered a naval blockade threatening to sink ships entering or leaving Iranian ports after weekend peace talks between Washington and Tehran collapsed. The blockade took effect at 1400 GMT on Monday, despite the two sides having agreed to a fragile two‑week ceasefire just days earlier. Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said the US decision to increase military deployments and enforce a targeted blockade would only heighten tensions and undermine the already fragile ceasefire. He warned that the move further endangers safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway for global oil shipments. Iran has effectively closed the strait to most traffic, allowing only vessels serving countries it regards […]

Trump to Visit China for Talks with Xi

US President Donald Trump is scheduled to visit China on May 14-15 to meet with President Xi Jinping. The trip had been postponed from late March due to the ongoing conflict involving Iran. This will be the first visit by a US president to China in nearly a decade. Trump also announced that Xi Jinping is expected to visit Washington later this year. Preparations for both trips are reportedly underway.

Beijing has not officially confirmed the dates, but Chinese officials stated that both sides are maintaining communication regarding the visit. They also highlighted the strategic importance of leader-level diplomacy for guiding bilateral relations. The trip was initially postponed after […]

CIA releases Mandarin video to woo disillusioned Chinese soldiers

The CIA has released a new Mandarin language recruitment video aimed at Chinese soldiers amid turmoil in China’s military leadership.​ The video, titled The Reason for Stepping Forward To Save the Future, was posted on the agency’s YouTube channel. It follows a fictional Chinese officer who becomes disillusioned with his superiors and secretly reaches out to the CIA. In the narration, he says leaders are protecting their own interests rather than the people and that he cannot let their madness shape his daughter’s future.​ This is the fifth Mandarin language recruitment advert the CIA has put out since late 2024. CIA director John Ratcliffe said the videos have reached many people in China even though YouTube is officially blocked there, as users rely on software tools to bypass internet controls.​ The campaign comes as the People’s Liberation Army faces instability […]

Xi and Putin praise closer China Russia ties

Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin have praised the strength of relations between their countries during a video call held as the war in Ukraine nears its fourth anniversary.​ In remarks broadcast on Russian state television, Putin said the partnership between Moscow and Beijing is an important stabilising force at a time of growing global tensions.

China tells US its containment strategy is bound to fail

China has warned that United States efforts to contain its rise are doomed to fail, even as Beijing says it is willing to work with Washington to improve relations. Defence ministry spokesman Jiang Bin told a news briefing on Thursday that “facts have proven that any attempt to contain or block China is doomed to fail.” He added that China is ready to work with the US to promote stable ties ahead of President Donald Trump’s expected visit to China in April for talks with President Xi Jinping. The warning comes days after the US Department of Defense released its 2026 National Defense Strategy, which pledges to “deter China in the Indo Pacific through strength, not confrontation.” The new strategy adopts a softer tone than the previous one under former President Joe Biden, which labelled China as Washington’s most consequential […]

China warns citizens against Japan travel for Lunar New Year

China has urged its citizens to avoid travelling to Japan during next month’s Lunar New Year holiday, citing what it calls deteriorating public security and rising threats to Chinese nationals. The advisory comes amid a diplomatic spat after Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi suggested in November that Tokyo could intervene militarily if China attacked Taiwan.​ Beijing had already called on Chinese tourists to stay away from Japan following Takaichi’s comments, a move that contributed to a 45 percent year‑on‑year drop in Chinese visitors in December to around 330,000. Chinese tourists previously made up about a quarter of all foreign visitors, with nearly 7.5 million arrivals in the first nine months of 2025 and spending an estimated 3.7 billion dollars in the third quarter alone, helped by a weak yen.​ In a fresh statement on Monday, the foreign ministry’s Department of […]

China probes top generals Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli

China’s defence ministry says the Communist Party has opened investigations into senior military figures Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli for suspected serious violations of discipline and law. Zhang is a Politburo member and vice chairman of the powerful Central Military Commission (CMC), while Liu serves as chief of staff of the CMC Joint Staff Department.​ Zhang, 75, is widely regarded as President Xi Jinping’s closest ally in the People’s Liberation Army and one of the few top officers with combat experience. He is a key architect of China’s military modernisation and one of two CMC vice chairmen overseeing the country’s armed forces.​ The move is the latest step in Xi’s sweeping anti corruption drive, which has heavily targeted the military since 2012. In October 2025, eight top generals, including former CMC vice chairman He Weidong, were expelled from the party […]
