China, Tehran's biggest trade partner, was likely a major guiding force behind the two-week ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran. According to US President Donald Trump, it was Beijing that helped get Tehran to the negotiating table. "I hear yes," the US President told news agency AFP when asked if China was involved in getting Tehran to negotiate on a truce. For Beijing, there is an incentive to see the war subside before Trump travels to China in mid-May to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping. Citing demands of the war, Trump has been postponing his China trip, initially set for the end of March.

There is an ancient Vulcan proverb: Only Nixon could go to China.

Not surprised, Trump meets with xi in 5 weeks. People don’t see that this was part of negotiations there. Not saying that was what it was all about, or the biggest priority, but you can bet, Trump likes dealing from a position of strength and you can’t ignore the bigger picture.

China if nothing else has been peaceful as far as it pertains to foreign policy

Of course. China didn’t want to see a western-aligned government in Iran. They need that oil.

They’d probably defend Iran if they had the capability.
