China Needs the Iran War to End
China has signaled that it needs the Iran‑Israel conflict to end, as its economy depends on oil and commodities flowing through the Strait of Hormuz. President Xi Jinping’s administration is quietly working to defuse the war to safeguard trade routes. Beijing and Pakistan released a Gulf security initiative on March 31, urging freedom of navigation in the strait and proposing the start of peace talks. The proposal was reportedly discussed with Xi by U.S. diplomats during the Trump administration, highlighting a rare convergence of interests. The initiative sets the stage for peace negotiations slated to begin Friday in Islamabad. If the talks progress, China’s diplomatic backing could become an invisible catalyst, shaping outcomes without overt publicity. China’s behind‑the‑scenes involvement could reshape regional dynamics, limit disruptions to global energy markets, and challenge U.S. influence in Middle‑East conflict resolution.
