China Suggests US Should Help Ease Tensions Between Israel, Iran
China suggested the US use its influence with Israel to stop the conflict with Iran from spilling over, a sign Beijing is becoming increasingly concerned about the stability of a region it relies on for energy supplies.
'China calls on all parties concerned, especially those that have a special influence over Israel, to shoulder their due responsibilities and take immediate measures to cool the tensions and prevent the conflict from expanding,' Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said at a regular press briefing in Beijing on Tuesday.
