#3 China is considering a U.S. proposal to ensure safe passage for commercial vessels through the Persian Gulf,

Operative word is 'considering'.
Still a smooth move by the ChiComs. Makes them look like concerned world citizens and highlights freedom of navigation, which will be important for the Chinese mercantile empire. (No, don't bring up the South China Sea)

I'm gonna go out an a limb and predict they DO NOT get involved for $SOME_BULLSHIT_REASON.
