China Airlifts 10,000 Citizens Home Amid Middle East War

China evacuates over 10,000 nationals from the Middle East as escalating war disrupts air travel and closes airspace across the Gulf. Authorities coordinate with airlines to bring citizens home from UAE, Oman, Saudi Arabia, and Iran, with charter flights landing safely in Guangzhou and other hubs. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun confirms the efforts, urging nationals to avoid travel to conflict zones like Iran and its neighbors while flights remain available.
