China says Iran’s leadership change is an internal matter China has said that Iran’s decision to appoint Mojtaba Khamenei as the country’s new supreme leader is a domestic matter for Tehran. Speaking at a regular press briefing, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said Beijing viewed the appointment as an issue for Iran to determine under its own constitutional framework. “This is a decision by the Iranian side based on its constitution,” Guo Jiakun told a news conference. Beijing’s comments follow earlier remarks from China’s foreign minister, Wang Yi, who urged respect for Iran’s sovereignty and warned against attempts to reshape the country’s political system from outside. “Plotting a ‘colour’ revolution or seeking government change will find no popular support,” Wang said yesterday.
