China has remained completely silent on President Donald Trump’s recent request for help reopening the Strait of Hormuz, which has been largely closed due to the ongoing conflict with Iran. This lack of response comes as the president has been actively seeking international military support to secure the vital waterway.
According to The Hill, the Strait of Hormuz is incredibly important for global energy, with roughly 20% of the world’s oil supply typically flowing through it. Its current closure has unfortunately triggered a massive surge in oil and gas prices, hitting consumers right in their wallets.
