This guy explained it pretty well:

To put it simply - One is a master, who forced two of his servants to hook their little fingers; The other is a friend to both parties in conflict, who helped both his friends to shake hands.

This is the fundamental difference between the two scenarios.
One more interesting development - Just yesterday, PRC's special envoy to the Middle East paid a visit to the Israeli Foreign Minister in Tel Aviv.


Looks like some big chess move is happening in the region, to say the least...

This is a win for China, but it also exposes CN. What if, in 3 months or a year from now, things between Iran and KSA go bad again? What will China do?
I don't want to discuss China here because the implications are way too big to be discussed in a single or few posts. My only comment is that Iran and KSA going bad is normal, whats different here is that China has gotten involved.

This is not merely a simple deal between KSA-Iran. It is something far bigger when viewed strategically. The stakes are different

PRC aims to develop into a key player in realm of international conflict resolution (specially focusing on mediation). The (abstract) "Position on the Political Settlement of the Ukraine Crisis" is just the latest example of a general trend-line. On February 16, the inauguration ceremony of the Preparatory Office of the International Organization for Mediation took place in Hong Kong. It will be the world's first intergovernmental legal organization dedicated to the settlement of international disputes through mediation.
