Will China announce participation in Iran negotiations by May 22?

Prediction market on polymarket. This market will resolve to “Yes” if Xi Jinping, the Chinese government, or any authorized representative of the Chinese government announces that China will participate in or facilitate negotiations between the United States and Iran between market creation and May 22, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. A qualifying announcement must explicitly indicate that the Chinese government will participate in or facilitate negotiations between the United States and Iran, including by mediating negotiations, hosting a diplomatic meeting, transmitting proposals or messages between the parties, or negotiating with Iran on behalf of the United States. Only definitive announcements will qualify. Suggestions, negotiations, expressions of openness, general support for diplomacy, or other non-definitive statements will not qualify. Any qualifying announcement within this market’s time frame will count, regardless of whether or when the negotiations take place. This market’s primary resolution source will be official information from the Chinese government; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
