What happened

Al Jazeera reports: Is China a winner of the Iran war or facing economic risks?.

Why it matters

China’s economy beats expectations despite the Iran war, but weak demand and structural risks remain.

Common ground

China’s economy is off to a strong start this year, even as the conflict between the US, Israel and Iran disrupts global energy markets.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
