China sought to position itself as a mediator in the Israel-Iran conflict following Israel's attack on Iran. While Chinese leaders called for ceasefire and de-escalation, the country's traditional noninterference policy revealed limitations in its influence over the conflict. Despite efforts to offer a voice of reason and advocating for international community involvement, analysts suggest that this situation highlighted challenges for China in establishing itself as a powerful player in Middle Eastern politics and mitigating regional tensions effectively.
"Beijing's stance throughout the conflict remained true to its longstanding noninterference approach to foreign hostilities, but it exposed the limitations of its clout in the region."
"Chinese President Xi Jinping soon followed with calls for de-escalation, emphasizing the need for the international community to prevent regional turmoil impacting global economic development."
