During the G7 summit in France, President Donald Trump acknowledged China's role in preventing a larger catastrophe regarding the US-Israeli conflict with Iran. Trump specifically credited Beijing and Moscow for maintaining neutrality and exercising strategic restraint. He noted that China possessed the military capability to intervene with oil ships and destroyers but chose not to do so. This observation highlights the core of Beijing's current strategic approach. By avoiding direct military projection, China continues to exert influence through diplomatic and economic means. The situation reflects a significant shift in international dynamics compared to the previous year. Ultimately, China's strategy focuses on power management without risking direct confrontation.
