10:07Now PlayingChina says it wants peace and stability in the Middle East but is Beijing quietly benefiting from the Iran war?
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has just visited Beijing and US President Donald Trump is preparing for talks in China next week. Analysts are increasingly asking whether the conflict is shifting the global balance of power.
Kelly Grieco of the Stimson Center joins DW’s The Day to discuss:
- Whether China has picked a side in the war
- How Beijing benefits from US distraction
- What China is learning about Taiwan and US military power
- Whether Gulf states are reassessing their alliances
- China’s role in a post-war Middle East
- Whether prolonged conflict ultimately helps Beijing
- And what Trump’s upcoming China visit could reveal about the future US-China rivalry
