Victor Gao, Vice President of the Center for China and Globalization (CCG), has publicly denied that China is supplying arms to Iran amid its ongoing conflict with the United States and Israel. In a statement, Gao asserted that Tehran is successfully defending itself without Chinese military assistance. The remarks come as the US continues to pressure allies and partners over their stance on the Iran war, with China positioning itself as a non-interventionist party. The denial is a clear attempt to distance Beijing from direct involvement in the escalating Middle Eastern conflict.
