China is closely studying President Donald Trump’s approach during the Iran conflict as it prepares for a high-stakes summit with Beijing, analysts told media outlets.
Trump’s leadership style, marked by sharp shifts between threats and negotiation, is being viewed as both strategic and unpredictable.
Experts said this “pressure and flexibility” approach aims to extract concessions, with military action used to strengthen negotiating leverage.
According to analysts cited in the report, Trump’s handling of Iran and other conflicts may boost his bargaining position but also raises concerns about consistency and long-term commitments.

Chinese observers are assessing whether this volatility reflects deliberate strategy or lack of planning. Some analysts argue it creates uncertainty, prompting Beijing to adopt cautious engagement and strengthen economic resilience ahead of talks.
China is also positioning itself as a stabilizing global force, engaging with U.S. allies and promoting diplomatic initiatives. Trump is expected to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping in mid-May.
