China avoids security role in Gulf
China continued to support Iran militarily and intelligence-wise during the escalation in the Gulf, but it avoided direct intervention by dispatching naval forces or aircraft carriers, preferring to maintain a diplomatic and economic balance with the Gulf countries. Beijing supplied Tehran with components for making suicide drones and surface-to-air missiles, and assisted with intelligence information. However, there was no indication of a direct security role or a new security system to protect navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, as the focus remained on technical and strategic support and safeguarding oil supplies from the Gulf.
