Donald Trump Travels to China Amid Analysis of Limited Expectations

Washington DC. US President Donald Trump has embarked on a visit to China. It has been analyzed that Trump should not expect much from China during this visit.

Mohammad Elmasry, a professor of media studies at the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies, has stated that it is not appropriate for Trump to expect much cooperation from China in ending the Iran war.

He said that China is unlikely to weaken its relationship with Iran. He stated that China is in a better position compared to many other world powers.

His understanding is that China wants to maintain its strong relationship with Iran. "They are hurt to some extent, but I think China is in a much better position than many other global players," Elmasry said. He says that even though the blockade in the Strait of Hormuz continues, China has succeeded in finding alternative solutions.

According to Elmasry, China views its relationship with Iran as a strategic partnership. "They are not formal allies, rather it is a strategic partnership," he said.

He also stated that China considers Iran an important power in the Middle East to counter US influence. "China is not ready to hand over the entire region to the US and Israel," he added.
