Analysts suggest that China may seek changes in US policy towards Taiwan if it helps in the resolution of the Iran crisis, following President Donald Trump's meeting with his counterpart, Xi Jinping, who are set to discuss the matter. The issue of Iran is unlikely to be a central issue during the meeting, with China's top priority being Taiwan. China is a major importer of Iranian and Middle East oil, which could strain its economy due to the disruption caused by Tehran’s Hormuz blockade and the US naval siege on Iran. While China has been reluctant to get involved in the crisis, it has an interest in opening the strait due to its finite oil reserves. The conflict is increasingly looking like an unwinnable war for many observers.
