Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiabao said on March 10 that authorities and airlines have supported Chinese citizens to leave the safe zone.
Returnees come from many Middle Eastern countries, including the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Saudi Arabia.
More than 10,000 Chinese citizens have returned home from the Middle East after wars in the region caused many commercial flights to be canceled.
According to Mr. Guo Jiabao, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Civil Aviation Administration have guided domestic airlines to increase transport capacity to bring citizens stranded in the Middle East back home.
Earlier, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said that among more than 10,000 citizens returning from the Middle East, more than 3,000 citizens were recorded as being evacuated from Iran.
War in the Middle East broke out after the US and Israel launched attacks on Iran on February 28. This development caused many airspaces in the region to be closed, leading to the disruption of many commercial flights.
Some major Chinese airlines such as Air China and China Southern Airlines have resumed flights between some Chinese cities and aviation hubs in the Gulf region such as Riyadh and Dubai.
China has condemned the attacks by the US and Israel on Iran, and has repeatedly called for a ceasefire. Beijing has also sent special envoys to the Middle East to promote reconciliation efforts.
