China is closely following the killing of Hezbollah leader, Hassan Nasrallah, who died in an air strike in Lebanon’s capital Beirut on September 27, a spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Sunday.
China opposes the infringement on Lebanon’s sovereignty and security, opposes and condemns any action against innocent civilians, and opposes any move that fuels antagonism and escalates regional tensions, the statement said.
China urges parties concerned, especially Israel, to immediately take actions to cool down the situation and prevent the conflict from escalating or even spiraling out of control.
