Key Notes
The Catholic Church temporarily solves monotheism's individualizing problem by mediating God for everyone and thereby creating a community around mediation.
Jiang argues that the United States benefits more from acting as a distant manipulator and mediator in East Asian rivalry than from directly underwriting regional peace.
Jiang says there may still be mediation attempts by GCC states or China, but he maintains that the Americans remain committed to Iran's destruction.
Jiang says China therefore cannot directly involve itself in an Iran war and would instead try to broker peace among Iran, the United States, and Israel even while fighting continues.
He predicts China will act as a peacekeeper and mediator rather than a combatant in the Iran-Israel conflict.
He predicts China will not send ground troops to the Middle East and instead sees Chinese power as mediation and peace facilitation.
Jiang says China would remain neutral and try to mediate if a U.S.-Iran war broke out, while Russia would be more likely to protect Iran.
