Why Chinese Association With Iran Could Be A Matter Of Concern?

China's closeness to Iran could be a matter of great concern to the rest of the world 


China continues to look all gracious ways of keeping nations involved but can exit at any point of time it wishes.  Iran should feel happy that $400 billion deal is coming their way. But it could be retracted at any point of time.

This move comes at a point when China is suddenly wishing to get into the good books for Middle East nations.  A recent trip was made by China’s Foreign Minister Wang Y comprised UAE, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Turkey and Iran.


However, the most critical part of Wang’s Middle East jaunt was the stopover in Iran. The foreign minister is the first top ranking official to visit Tehran since President Xi Jinping’s visit in 2016 when the two sides signed a comprehensive strategic partnership agreement.


China has signed a 25 year long treaty to help the bleeding nation. In return, it will get oil and gas access, a commodity that Iran has been desperate to sell. US on its part might have to sanction China again. Beijing is also scoring brownie points by getting to establish a vaccine manufacturing facility in UAE.

Meanwhile, back home, Iranians aren’t happy with the Chinese deal. They feel Iran has sold itself off. But with the way things have not worked well between Iran and the U.S., it is no surprise that it grabs the hand of support that China offers.

But its deal is simply another move in its chess game. US had sanctioned China earlier for its association with Iran on petrochemical deals. But the way China has reached out to an arch enemy, is going to become a matter of concern for not only America but the rest of the world too.
