Why the US-Israel war with Iran has been bad news for China too | The Global Story
As the US-Israel war with Iran reaches a diplomatic stalemate – one idea seems to be taking hold: that China is the real winner.
Some have argued that the US’s biggest rival is quietly boosting its international standing, leverage and reputation as a reliable partner.
Yet beneath the surface the economic situation in China looks far less triumphant.
We speak to the BBC China Correspondent Laura Bicker who has been reporting from inside China’s factories and trading hubs to explore whether the potential political gains China may be accruing from the Iran war are being offset by the acute economic cost – and what this means for China’s long-term geopolitical ambitions.

Last month, US President Donald Trump secretly swapped planes via a catering truck as he left a Nato summit in Turkey. The elaborate ruse, first reported by the Washington Post, was in response to a possible threat from Iran.
But how serious were the US administration’s fears of an assassination attempt? And does the Iranian regime have the capability to carry out such an operation beyond its borders?
We speak to Parham Ghobadi, a senior reporter at the BBC’s Persian Service, and Dan Lamothe of the Washington Post, to understand more about what transpired on Air Force One, the history of Iran’s alleged assassination plots, and why the Iranian regime’s prime target might be its own citizens.
