Dont' expect any support from China on opening up Hormuz.
There was a press conference in Beijing a hour or so back. The question was raised if China will send navel assets to the region. This was the answer given.
"The recent tensions in the Strait of Hormuz and its surrounding waters have disrupted international trade routes for goods and energy, and undermined regional and global peace and stability. China reiterates its call for all parties to immediately cease military operations, avoid further escalation of tensions, and prevent regional instability that could have a greater impact on global economic development."
What that means is for China to provide any support would first require all sides, including the US and Israel, to halt all military actions.
I can't even imagine Washington agreeing to such terms, let alone from Beijing.
