  • Beijing is worried the U.S.-Israeli war threatens President Xi Jinping's Belt and Road initiative, which depends on trade routes through the Gulf, North Africa and Europe, exposing Chinese manufacturers.
  • Lin Jian, a spokesperson for China's foreign ministry, said, 'History and reality have repeatedly shown the world that force is not the solution to problems and armed conflict will only breed new hatred,' on the 23rd anniversary of the Iraq War .

  • Analysts say the conflict gives Beijing an opportunity to cast itself as the more reliable superpower amid widening regional fighting and strengthens its great-power positioning.
