China slams 'indiscriminate attacks' on Lebanese civilians
China's foreign ministry said on Tuesday it was "deeply shocked" by Israel's air strikes on Hezbollah strongholds in Lebanon after 492 people were killed in the deadliest bombardment since a devastating war in 2006.
"China... is deeply shocked by the relevant military actions that have caused large numbers of casualties," foreign ministry spokesman Lin Jian said in response to a question about Israel's strikes.
China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi had also expressed support for Lebanon and condemned what he termed "indiscriminate attacks against civilians", in talks with his Lebanese counterpart.
