Premier Li Qiang Directs Response To Safety Incident
China's Politburo announced a directive today to respond to external shocks following a top decision-making meeting. The directive follows concerns regarding potential disruptions in the Middle East. Analysts suggest China is better positioned to weather a closure of the Strait of Hormuz due to ample oil reserves and heavy coal use. The announcement did not directly reference the war on Iran. The decision comes as the national economy shows signs of strain from Middle East disruptions. Before the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, more than 90 percent of China's oil shipments were sourced from Iran. Washington is currently attempting to disrupt this critical trade route. His directives included reducing casualties, fully treating the injured, scientifically organizing search and rescue, preventing secondary disasters, and properly handling aftermath.
