Xi Stays Silent as Trump Stumbles in Iran

Bloomberg: “Nearly one month into President Donald Trump’s war on Iran, there’s one person whose silence stands out: Xi Jinping.”

“In contrast to most other Group of 20 leaders, China’s commander-in-chief hasn’t commented on the conflict, keeping quiet as panic elsewhere sets in. South Korea has set up an emergency economic task force, the Philippines warned about grounding planes and Japan is beginning its largest oil release from emergency stockpiles to date.”

“In Beijing, it’s largely business as normal.”
