UNITED STATES, JUN 14 – Walz argued the U.S. lacks neutrality in Middle East peace efforts and suggested China may hold moral authority to mediate despite its human rights abuses, sparking debate.
- On June 13, 2025, during an event hosted by the Center for American Progress, Minnesota Governor and 2024 Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz suggested that China could hold the moral authority to help reduce tensions between Iran and Israel.

- Walz described Gaza’s humanitarian situation as intolerable and acknowledged documented human rights abuses by China against Muslim minorities and religious groups.
- Walz's remarks highlight shifting perceptions of international influence in Middle East peace efforts and raise questions about U.S. and Chinese roles amid ongoing regional tensions.
