China doesn’t want war, but Trump’s strike against Iran could present an opportunity to Beijing

Located thousands of feet up in the Central Asian mountains, Bishkek is not usually considered a place where international policy is made.

Last June, however, world leaders flocked to the capital of Kyrgyzstan for a meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, a key regional security and political alliance. Attendees included Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese leader Xi Jinping, as well as Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, with whom they posed alongside in photos from the event.

It was a pertinent reminder of Tehran’s strong ties with two of the world’s foremost powers, further underlined when the three countries held joint naval exercises near the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz in the Indian Ocean last month.
