The Chinese said the blockade would escalate tension and undermine the fragile ceasefire.   China is a major buyer of Iranian oil and an ally of Tehran. <\/p>\n<p>Donald Trump has unexpectedly announced that new peace talks with Iran may begin within the next two days. <\/p>\n<p>Reeta Chakrabarti presents BBC News at Ten reporting by Frank Gardner and Sarah Smith.<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe to our channel here: https:\/\/bbc.in\/bbcnews<\/p>\n<p>For the latest news download the BBC News app or visit BBC.com\/news<\/p>\n<p>#BBCNews<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"China calls US blockade of strait of Hormuz dangerous and irresponsible\u201d | BBC News China has warned that&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9541,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[10022,9111,402,233,4875,176,234,2352,236,13719,3245,4103,760,220,8034,4172,13717,228,226,13714,5950,184,227,63,225,10058,110,38,13715,39,4401,4101,65,2045,6422,200,31,212,213,19,1471,4605,13718,218,17,3720,13721,13720,5116,199,224,195,6199,13716,219,48,198,11680,197,8502,5117,49,8042,13713,235],"class_list":{"0":"post-9540","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-bbc-news","8":"tag-recession","9":"tag-agreement","10":"tag-airstrikes","11":"tag-attacks","12":"tag-bases","13":"tag-bbc","14":"tag-bbc-news","15":"tag-blockade","16":"tag-breaking-news","17":"tag-buckingham","18":"tag-ceasefire","19":"tag-charles","20":"tag-china","21":"tag-danger","22":"tag-dangerous","23":"tag-deal","24":"tag-dinner","25":"tag-downturn","26":"tag-economy","27":"tag-enriched","28":"tag-fighting","29":"tag-gas","30":"tag-global","31":"tag-hezbollah","32":"tag-hormuz","33":"tag-imf","34":"tag-inflation","35":"tag-iran","36":"tag-irresponsible","37":"tag-israel","38":"tag-keir","39":"tag-king","40":"tag-lebanon","41":"tag-melania","42":"tag-negotiations","43":"tag-netanyahu","44":"tag-news","45":"tag-nuclear","46":"tag-nuke","47":"tag-oil","48":"tag-pakistan","49":"tag-peace","50":"tag-president-sir","51":"tag-risk","52":"tag-russia","53":"tag-saudi","54":"tag-sink","55":"tag-slump","56":"tag-state","57":"tag-states","58":"tag-strait","59":"tag-strikes","60":"tag-talks","61":"tag-tea","62":"tag-threat","63":"tag-trump","64":"tag-united","65":"tag-uranium","66":"tag-us","67":"tag-vance","68":"tag-visit","69":"tag-war","70":"tag-warning","71":"tag-warships","72":"tag-world-news"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9540","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9540"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9540\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9541"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9540"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9540"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9540"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
