周四中国在伊朗威胁要封锁霍尔木兹海峡原油运输要道之后，敦促维持该地区的和平和稳定，但对此次危机拒绝做出其他评论。
此次中国外交部对世界上最重要的石油通道作出的公众反应表明了中国与伊朗的密切的商业关系的敏感性。
“中国希望保持海湾地区的和平稳定。”外交部发言人洪磊在一次通风会上回答记者的提问道，越来越紧张的局势抬升了石油价格。他并没有回答中国与伊朗或其他政府关于威胁有任何联系。
新华社一篇评论认为，过去几年，所有关于西方对伊朗开战的猜测目前看来都不过是一次次上演的“狼来了”的闹剧。为避免狼的真正到来，各方都要表示出更大的真诚和灵活性。
中国一直以来都认为都其与伊朗的石油外贸关系是合法的，并批评双边的制裁会妨碍这种关系。
伊朗是在联合国决议对其核计划加强制裁以及美国单边制裁之后，威胁要封锁霍尔木兹海峡的原油运输，霍尔木兹海峡是中东原油供应商的关键通道。
中国在过去的十年里拉动全球石油需求增长，并越来越依靠从中东地区的船运，而中东地区正是伊朗和沙特阿拉伯竞争的市场。中国到今年10月平均每天从伊朗购买54.7万桶原油，2010年平均每天42.6万桶。相比之下只有沙特阿拉伯和安哥拉供给中国的石油比伊朗更多。
11月份联合国国际原子能机构发布的报告表明伊朗正在加紧研究核武器并有可能将研究进行到底，这项报告提升了伊朗同国际社会的紧张局势。伊朗对此表示否认，并称其发展核能是用于和平目的。
2006年至今联合国对伊朗核活动进行了四轮制裁，并拒绝停止铀浓缩，反对联合国核检查人员的进入。
作为联合国常任安全理事国，中国有权对此类制裁投反对票。然而北京方面在保证其自身的石油和贸易关系不被威胁的情况下并没有给伊朗投票。同时，中国也批评美国和欧盟对伊朗进行单独制裁，并声称不要超越联合国决议案来采取措施。
(Reuters) - China urged peace and stability on Thursday after Tehran threatened to punish proposed Western sanctions by choking off oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz, but declined to make any other comment about the crisis.
The foreign ministry's terse, one sentence public response to Tehran's threats over the world's most important oil route reflects China's sensitivities about its close business links with Iran.
"China hopes that peace and stability can be maintained in the strait," ministry spokesman Hong Lei told a briefing in answer to a question about escalating tensions that have pushed up oil prices.
He did not answer a question about whether China had had any contact with Tehran or other governments about the threat.
China's official Xinhua news agency said in a commentary speculation about war with Iran over the past few years had ended up simply amounting to "crying wolf."
"To avoid the real arrival of the wolf, all sides should show greater sincerity and flexibility," it wrote.
China has long defended its oil and trade ties with Iran as legitimate, and criticized unilateral sanctions that could stymie those ties.
Iran's threat to block crude shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial passage for Middle Eastern suppliers, followed the European Union's decision to tighten sanctions on Iran over its nuclear program, as well as accompanying moves by the United States to tighten unilateral sanctions.
China has driven global oil demand growth for a decade and has increasingly relied on shipments from the Middle East, where Iran and rival Saudi Arabia compete for the market. China bought 547,000 barrels per day of crude from Iran through to October this year, up from 426,000 barrels per day for all of 2010.
Only Saudi Arabia and Angola sell more than Iran to China.
International tensions with Iran have increased since a report by the United Nation's International Atomic Energy Agency in November concluded Tehran appears to have worked on designing a nuclear weapon and may still be pursuing research to that end.
Iran denies this and says it is developing nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.
Iran has expanded its nuclear activities despite four rounds of U.N. sanctions since 2006 over its refusal to suspend uranium enrichment and give access to U.N. nuclear inspectors.
As a permanent member of the U.N. Security Council, China has the power to veto resolutions mandating such sanctions. But Beijing has instead voted for them, while working to ensure its oil and trade ties are not threatened.
China, however, has also criticized the United States and European Union for imposing their own separate sanctions on Iran, and said they should not take steps reaching beyond the U.N. resolutions.
