BEIJING, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 7th May, 2026) China is deeply concerned about the attacks on the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and firmly opposes any actions that escalate tensions in the region, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said on Thursday.

He made these remarks at his regular press conference in response to a question seeking comments on the attacks on the Fujairah Oil Industry Zone, which the UAE blamed on Iran, although Tehran firmly denied any involvement on Tuesday.

He said that China consistently maintains that the sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity of Middle Eastern Gulf countries should be earnestly respected, and that civilians and non-military targets should be protected. The immediate priority is to achieve an immediate and comprehensive ceasefire, and prevent further escalation of the conflict.
