Chinese President Xi Jinping met with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez in Beijing on Tuesday, calling for China and Spain to jointly resist "the law of the jungle" and defend multilateralism amidst global turbulence. Xi stated the world is in a contest between justice and power, emphasizing the importance of international law. The meeting occurred during Sanchez's five-day visit to China, his fourth in four years, as Spain seeks to strengthen ties with Beijing. Both leaders have recently criticized US-Israel military actions on Iran and the US blockade of Iranian ports. Xi's comments came as the US blockade of Iran’s ports was coming into effect, after talks failed to end the Israel-US war on Iran.
