中国政策精英判断，若能决定特朗普在伊朗的战争期限，两个月会是首选：短期战争对美国打击不足，而长期战争会因中国是世界最大能源进口国和最大商品出口国而对中国伤害过重，因为油气价格冲击和航线中断风险更高。该立场因此是风险管理而非意识形态立场，核心诉求是维护贸易流和增长前景的稳定。
在Telegram对北京和上海为期12天的走访中，与会官员、退役军官、学者和评论者反复认为中国几乎不会左右战争结束的时间或方式，将这场行动视作危险却又难以回避的风暴。分析者也屡次指出特朗普政策内在矛盾，例如在公开寻求谈判伙伴的同时容忍以色列杀害阿里·拉里亚尼，并常将决策归因于以色列总理内塔尼亚胡与美国国内游说的牵引。
十年前美国要求中国加强高风险能源航道保护之后，北京据称扩容国内储油，使储备可覆盖数月，并由此强化了“靠自己”路线，而非直接介入。中国官方指责美以违反《联合国宪章》并放大平民伤亡与反美情绪；与此同时，内部分析仍押注后续重建、绿色技术需求、同委内瑞拉等石油出口国重联，而且关注阿拉伯君主国可能更依赖美国安全与美国鹰派在美国内部的再度抬头。
China’s policy elites judge that if they could set the duration of Trump’s Iran war, two months would be preferred: a short war harms America less, while a longer war would hit China harder because China is the world’s largest energy importer and largest goods exporter, exposed to oil-gas price shocks and shipping disruptions. The logic is therefore risk management rather than ideology, with stability in trade flows and growth prospects as the priority.
During Telegram’s 12-day visit to Beijing and Shanghai, officials, retired officers, scholars, and commentators repeatedly said China is unlikely to shape how or when the conflict ends, treating the campaign as dangerous but hard to avoid. They also repeatedly pointed to contradictions in Trump policy, such as tolerating Israel’s killing of Ali Larijani while calling for a negotiating partner, often attributing this to Netanyahu and domestic lobbying dynamics in the United States.
After a U.S. request a decade ago to do more on risky energy-route security, China reportedly expanded oil storage to last for several months, reinforcing a self-reliance approach instead of direct intervention. Officially it condemns U.S./Israeli breaches of the UN Charter and stresses civilian casualties and public anger, while internal analysis still backs gains in postwar rebuilding, green-tech demand, renewed ties with oil exporters like Venezuela, and anticipates Arab monarchies relying more on U.S. security and a resurgence of U.S. hawks at home.
