ISTANBUL - Iranian President Hassan Rouhani's charm offensive has stalled.

The most important element of China's charm offensive is its effort to improve relations with Japan, initiated at a meeting between Xi and Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on the sidelines of the recent APEC meeting in Beijing.
