Assessment

China brokered the Saudi-Iran rapprochement in March 2023 and has significant economic interests in both Iran and Gulf Arab states. China is Iran's largest oil customer. China would avoid taking sides but would be deeply concerned about threats to Gulf oil shipping lanes and its Belt and Road investments.
