At the UN General Assembly, China's Vice President Han Zheng urged respect for the sovereignty and security of Gulf countries and called for the lifting of the US blockade on Cuba, without naming the US directly. His remarks contrasted with the recent warm reception of Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Washington. Han emphasized that major countries should uphold international peace, security, and the rule of law. The US had warned China against supporting Iran amid ongoing regional tensions involving US-Israeli strikes and sanctions enforcement.
