China has denied rumors of military support for Iran spread by the US media.

China does not provide military support to Iran, and there are no Chinese arms deliveries to the Iranian military. This was stated in a statement by the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Beijing has officially denied rumors circulating in the US press about alleged military support for Iran. According to a statement from the Chinese Foreign Ministry, if the US authorities attempt to impose any restrictions on China, a response will follow immediately. Beijing is prepared for a trade war with Washington.

China always acts prudently and responsibly in military exports and maintains strict controls in accordance with Chinese law and its international obligations. Media reports accusing China of military support for Iran are pure fabrication.

Trump previously promised to impose a 50% tariff on Chinese goods if information about alleged Chinese-made weapons supplies to Iran is confirmed. According to media reports citing US intelligence, Beijing is preparing to supply Iran with systems. Defense. In particular, portable anti-aircraft missile complexes.

Beijing called this information "unreliable," emphasizing that China advocates ending hostilities in the Middle East through negotiations, especially since the war is affecting the global economy.

China has always acted prudently and responsibly in military exports and has implemented strict controls...

Well, yes... Well, yes... No wonder all the Ukrainian drones fly on Chinese components, but they refuse to supply us directly... What kind of allies are they... They'll just sit on the shore and wait for the enemy's corpse to float by...

Have you personally examined the drone debris? Specifically, Chinese components? Are you an expert? Can you tell the difference between Chinese and Taiwanese components based on the remaining fragments? And from Malaysian, Indonesian, Mexican, and even German ones? AMD has a plant in Dresden, and other places where major microelectronics manufacturers have their factories.

And whose components are our drones assembled from? Especially after the Ukrainians bombed our only fiber optic plant—the price in China suddenly tripled. The Chinese supply dual-use components to anyone who wants them. And there's serious doubt about Iran's lack of Chinese systems—the Americans have complained that their planes are being shot down when detected without radar. Only the Chinese have claimed to have "quantum radar" technology—apparently they've been testing it in combat.

What allies!

China is simply a strategic partner!
Strategic partners is a term sometimes used as a softer alternative to "ally," emphasizing cooperation in key areas without unconditional guarantees of military assistance.

[knn54]

China supports North Korea, North Korea supports Iran.

[opuonmed]

China was alarmed by such rumors and decided to impose a 50% duty on Chinese goods. China always acts prudently and responsibly in matters of military exports and implements strict controls in accordance with Chinese law and international obligations.

Here, I think it's appropriate to note that the terms "refute" and "reject" are not synonymous. China hasn't refuted anything; it's merely rejecting its opponents' claims and not trying to mislead readers. It would be helpful for writers to know basic Russian. If I claim the Earth is flat, does that constitute a refutation of a different opinion?

Trump previously promised to impose a 50% tariff on Chinese goods if information about the alleged supply of Chinese-made weapons to Iran is confirmed.

How is he going to prove that China supplies them? There are plenty of Chinese weapons all over the world, just like Soviet and Russian ones. Trump farted in a puddle again!

I wonder if Trump himself laughs when he talks about a new "tariff war" with China?
A very useful skill for a clown is not to laugh at his own jokes...

How did he intend to prove that China was supplying it?

And China, frankly, wouldn't care what Trump thinks? China itself doesn't have to prove anything to anyone.
And if China and we start counting what and to whom America supplies...
Well, we won't start. If it were the sovereign's will, we would have done the calculations long ago. But the Chinese might...

[WILL]

And the Chinese can...

So let them supply it, especially since catching them red-handed is impossible! And we can help them with the supply route, the transit. What they'll ship there, who knows?

Why should the Chinese comrades expose themselves to the US? Comrade Kim is doing a fine job of handling this on his own so far.
For information:

April 6, 2026, Kommersant... "The missile launched at Diego Garcia was a Musudan missile (also known as the Hwasong-10—Kommersant). The Iranians purchased 19 of these missiles from North Korea and received them in 2005. They have had this capability since 2005, and it is not a 'secret weapon,'" Bruce Bechtol, a political science professor in the Department of Security Studies at Angelo State University in Texas, explained in an interview with Fox News.

The expert also noted that the short-range ballistic missiles that Iran launches at American targets in neighboring Persian Gulf countries are based on the QIAM system, developed with the assistance of North Korea, and that the Iranian Shahab-3 missile is “almost an exact copy of the Nodong missile (a North Korean missile.—Kommersant).”
Finally, according to his estimates, the North Koreans also had a hand in the development of the Emad and Ghadr missile systems, which were used by Tehran to attack Israel and the Persian Gulf countries.

Neither North Korea nor Iran, both of which were accused at one time of supplying their weapons to Russia, have ever publicly commented on their military-technical cooperation, and sometimes even denied it.

Comrade Kim is simply a handsome man! Health to him personally and prosperity to his country!

[Hishnik]

Why bother justifying ourselves to the US? They're openly distributing their weapons all over the world.

The "wise monkey" was scared. In this case, cunning is punishable. Donald Fredovich can punish!

China does not provide military support to Iran, and there are no Chinese arms deliveries to the Iranian army.

Well, everything is clear with these, let's put it, we don't care and 500% duties, it doesn't matter what it's for, IMHO

[Benchik]

Why should the Chinese (and Russian) authorities respond to statements from other countries' media? It's a shame to listen to their crows; paying attention to their crows is disrespectful. The country's authorities should respond to statements from government officials in other countries. And not just from all countries, but from those with a certain amount of influence in the world.

[Mazunga]

Everyone is so in a hurry to disown Iran))) Just so the white bwana doesn't bless them with a stick)) I was always sure that the Chinese are cowards by nature))) which has basically been historically proven

[flicker]

China has denied rumors of military support for Iran spread by the US media.

They lashed out at the hegemon, saying that it was only Iran that brought you down, and that if China had provided military support, the Pindos would have ceased to exist altogether.

[Ignatius555]

A promise doesn't mean a promise. Denying rumors doesn't mean withholding military support. It's too bad we're probably not providing it to Iran.
