Hard to understate significance of this, coming on heels of China's improved roles w Saudi &Iran.

US official told @AlMonitor it "welcomes any efforts to help end the war in Yemen & de-escalate tensions in the Middle East region."

Talks between Saudi & Houthis are advancing.
But the crux of this is China: its biggest diplomatic breakthrough in GCC region. Chinese negotiator Wang Yi brokered the deal.

Can China offer guarantees? Will this hold? Time will tell.
