short article 1 min

A Chinese government advisor, Zheng Yongnian, has suggested China reconsider its strict policy of non-intervention in international affairs. Published on March 12, 2026, the statement argues that the current global disorder, exemplified by the Iran crisis and weaponization of the Strait of Hormuz, necessitates a more assertive approach to protect China's interests. Zheng proposes "intervention 2.0," a targeted action strategy that avoids hegemonic overreach. The call for a policy shift comes in response to Tehran halting cargo traffic through the Strait of Hormuz after US-Israeli strikes, impacting global oil trade. Zheng's assessment was published by the Greater Bay Area Review, affiliated with the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen.
