At an Oct. 27 regular briefing, Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said China
is closely monitoring tensions in the Gulf, the Red Sea and the Horn of Africa,
and voiced deep concern about prolonged fighting and spillover effects. Guo said
China urges parties to resolve disputes through dialogue and seek a sustainable
ceasefire, and that Beijing will shortly dispatch special envoys to countries in
the affected regions to strengthen communication, promote contact and
de‑escalation and prevent further deterioration.
