Donald Trump’s planned visit to China in May may offer some clues about the preferred US road map for ending the war with Iran, according to Chinese analysts, who said that if the conflict dragged on, it could play into Beijing’s hands.
China has yet to confirm the dates and on Thursday foreign ministry spokesman Lin Jian said only that the two sides were “in communication” about the visit.

Ma Xiaolin, an international relations specialist at Zhejiang International Studies University, said Trump may see the new dates as a chance to seek a resolution.
“Even if the US can’t reach a peace agreement with Iran, at least Trump may seek to push to de-escalate the conflict to keep it in a relatively stable state,” Ma said.

Diao Daming, a professor at Renmin University’s school of international studies, said the new dates might reflect Washington’s thinking about how the war was likely to unfold.
