Trump advisers step up their calls on China to help open Strait of Hormuz ahead of Beijing summit

The Trump administration is urging China to open the Strait of Hormuz, citing the significant impact of Iran's blockade on China's economy and the upcoming summit with Xi Jinping. The U.S. is seeking China's support in pushing Iran to release the waterway, and is attempting to secure a veto-free resolution at the UN Security Council. This situation is impacting global energy markets and China's efforts to mediate a ceasefire.
