Diplomatic and government sources say former U.S. President Donald Trump faces mounting pressure before his upcoming meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, as the prolonged Iran crisis has weakened Washington’s bargaining position. The summit is scheduled for May 14–15 in Beijing, seen by China as a key opportunity to stabilize long-term relations between the two powers.
Chinese officials reportedly believe the Trump administration initially sought a swift victory in Iran to strengthen leverage over Beijing, but the conflict’s drawn-out and unpopular nature has shifted momentum in China’s favor. Wu Xinbo, a member of China’s Foreign Ministry advisory council, said the U.S. inability to control Iran has left Trump in a weaker position for talks. Analysts add that with U.S. midterm elections approaching, Trump is eager to show success to voters, while Beijing aims to extract concessions on Taiwan, technology exports, and sanctions relief.
Experts note that despite energy supply concerns through the Strait of Hormuz, China’s global standing has improved due to its calls for peace. The upcoming summit will test whether the two nations can ease tensions that have persisted since Trump’s 2017 Beijing visit.
