Saudi-Iran rapprochement is a major diplomatic breakthrough after years of mutual animosity, suspected attacks and espionage.
It represents Beijing's first foray into Middle East mediation, an area that for the past few decades was largely occupied by Washington.

Many believe China's gain doesn't have to mean a loss for the United States.
"No Chinese mediation — or any diplomatic involvement — will threaten US primacy," Khalifa University's Al-Saif said.
