XI and Putin show unity in the Israel Iran conflict, message to Trump
In a recent phone call, leaders China and Russia, XI Jinping and Vladimir Putin, positioned themselves as voices of reason and called for the de -escalation of a conflict, in which the USA may want to intervene by President Donald Trump. This dynamic shows how Beijing and Moscow represent themselves as an alternative to the US violence.positioning China and Russia
While Trump is thinking about an attack on Iran about a possible military participation in the United States, Beijing and Moscow see the opportunity to position themselves as an opponent for US power. Putin and XI sharply criticized the Israeli actions in their conversation and described them as a violation of the UN Charter and other international legal norms. However, the big problem remains that Russia himself violates the law internationally, as demonstrated in the Ukraine conflict.
China's contamination policy
XI Jinping was more moderate on the phone without judging Israel directly, which is in contrast to his foreign minister, who had done this in a conversation with the Iranian Foreign Minister. Instead, the Chinese head of state asked all parties to the conflict, especially Israel, to immediately achieve an armistice in order to avoid further escalation and regional effects.
The role of the United States in the Middle East
The United States has long criticized the USA as a source of instability and tensions in the Middle East. Some Chinese scientists use the current crisis in Iran to underpin this view. Liu Zhongmin, an expert for the Middle East at Shanghai International Studies University, explained that the uncertainties caused by Trump's second term have contributed to the current escalation. He argued that Trump had seriously undermined the authority and credibility of US politics in the Middle East.a new military intervention?
Some Chinese commentators noted that Trump is about to get deeper into a new so -called "eternal war" in the Middle East. Despite his original concentration on China's containment in the Indo-Pacific, he remains faced with the conflicts in Ukraine and in the Gaza Strip.
China's interests in Iran
Beijing is not interested in a large -scale war against Iran because it could endanger the regime. Iran, under the leadership of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has become a significant power in the Middle East and plays a crucial role as a counterweight to US dominance. China also works to expand its diplomatic and economic relationships with the region.
The diplomatic strategy of Chinas
Iran has strongly supportedChina in the past, in particular through constant oil imports and its position in the UN Security Council. In addition, the two countries have linked strategic gang by carrying out joint naval exercises with Russia and Iran in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and Brics to challenge the world order led by the USA.
China's placement claims
like Russia, China has also offered itself as a potential mediator in the Israel Iran conflict and would like to present itself as a peace broker. During his phone call with Putin, Xi proposed four suggestions for de-escalation of the tensions, including a peaceful solution to the Iran atomic problem and the protection of civilians. China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi has had numerous talks with his counterparts in Iran, Israel, Egypt and Oman this week.
uncertainty about China's influence
Although China is offering itself as an intermediary, it remains unclear what specific steps it can actually take to settle the conflict. This challenge is increased by China's lack of experience in dealing with long -lasting conflicts in a politically split region.
a strategic moment for China
at a time when the global leadership role of the United States is increasingly questioned, China's representation as a voice of reluctance in the Iran conflict could already prove to be a symbolic success. Despite the challenges that dealing with such conflicts, this positioning Beijing could offer long -term advantages.
