China befriends both sides in the Middle East.



Yesterday, Xi Jing Ping was in Saudi Arabia, today in Iran.  This would look like shuttle diplomacy between vicious enemies, except China does not interfere in other countries and obviously can be friends with both sides.  So much for anyone suggesting Australia must take sides, like ditching the Crown and the Anglo Alliance and chumming up to China, as if we cannot do both.
The first World Leader in Tehran since sanctions were lifted.  China is stitching up support in unlikely places, because it cannot just be about trade.
