Washington has called on China to use its relationship with Iran and other countries in the Middle East to urge calm and prevent the conflict from spreading as Israel expanded its ground operations in the Gaza Strip.
“We . . . pressed China to take a more constructive approach, and that would include of course their engagements with the Iranians to urge calm,” a senior US official said after the meetings with Wang.
“China obviously has relations in the region . . . We think it should be using those connections to call for calm on all sides. And I think some of their comments publicly have focused in one particular direction.”
