President Xi Jinping heads to Russia on Monday hoping to deliver a breakthrough on Ukraine as China seeks to position itself as a peacemaker.
It later emerged that Xi himself offered for China to serve as a "bridge" between the rivals, challenging Washington's long-standing role as the main external power broker in the Middle East.
But stilling the gunfire in Ukraine would be "somewhat harder" than the Saudi-Iran deal, said Wang of Renmin University, citing China's "limited" influence over Moscow and US backing for Kyiv.
