China prepares for Trump's May visit amid ongoing Iran conflict
President Trump is scheduled to visit Beijing on May 14-15, a high-stakes summit that has been delayed due to US-Israeli conflict with Iran. Chinese officials view the unresolved Middle East situation as potentially advantageous to their negotiating position, though they remain cautious about implications including possible closure of the Strait of Hormuz, through which China imports roughly one-third of its oil and gas. Meanwhile, China is simultaneously encouraging Iran to negotiate while its companies continue exporting material that could support Iran's military capabilities.
