According to SCMP on January 12, 2026, Beijing has voiced strong opposition to external interference as Donald Trump considers strikes against Iran. Mao Ning, a spokeswoman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, stated that sovereignty and territorial integrity must be respected.
We always oppose interference in other countries’ internal affairs. The sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries should be respected and [we] oppose the use or threat of force in international relations.
