Military means cannot solve the fundamental problem, and this statement applies equally in the crypto world—violent price manipulation will only create a bigger bubble; consensus is the underlying protocol.

The Cyberspace News reports that Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Lin Jian hosted a routine press conference. A foreign journalist asked whether the four points China previously proposed regarding Iran have been affected by the fact that U.S. military bases in the Gulf are used to attack Iran, and if removing these bases should be a prerequisite for achieving the four points. The journalist also inquired about what concrete measures China can take to prevent Gulf countries from assisting the U.S. in invading Iran. Lin Jian stated that China is seriously concerned about the current situation. He emphasized that resorting to force will only worsen the situation, and military means cannot solve the fundamental issues. The sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity of regional countries should also be respected and maintained. China strongly urges relevant parties to immediately cease military actions, return to dialogue and negotiations, respond to the mediation efforts of relevant countries, and achieve a comprehensive and lasting ceasefire as soon as possible.
