China backs Iranian government, warns against foreign intervention
China said on Monday it hoped Iran’s government would overcome current difficulties and maintain stability, as deadly protests continue across the country.
Asked about US President Donald Trump’s threat to intervene militarily on behalf of protesters, a Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson rejected outside involvement and emphasized state sovereignty.
“We have always opposed interference in other countries’ internal affairs and consistently advocated that the sovereignty and security of all nations should be fully protected by international law,” spokesperson Mao Ning told a regular news briefing.
