Einar Tangen, a senior fellow at the Centre for International Governance Innovation, said expectations that Beijing could use its influence over Iran to reopen the Hormuz Strait were unrealistic. Speaking to Al Jazeera from Beijing, he emphasized that China does not control Iran, which currently has more than 30 small military groups operating independently. According to Tangen, this makes it impossible for China to simply intervene and restore peace.
Rejecting comparisons with the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Tangen added that former U.S. President Donald Trump’s impulsive involvement had further complicated the situation. He noted that many now expect China to resolve the issue, but the reality is far more complex.
As the world’s largest oil importer, China itself faces difficulties due to the closure of the Hormuz Strait. Tangen acknowledged that China is also suffering from the disruption, underscoring the broader economic impact of the ongoing crisis.
