Beijing's role in Iran easing US sanctions
The article explains how China plays a leading role in helping Iran overcome U.S. sanctions through its economic, technological, and military support. Tehran relies on China to export its oil and import vital components, which prevents its economic collapse and enhances its regional standing—particularly by backing its missile and defense programs. Additionally, Beijing provides Iran with diplomatic protection under a long-term agreement and uses its veto power in the Security Council to strengthen its alliances with Iran and oppose U.S. dominance. China also focuses on the Strait of Hormuz, where Iran's control or disruption of the strait serves as a powerful pressure tool to offset American influence in the Gulf and maintain vital energy supplies for China, which depends on approximately 40% of its oil and liquefied natural gas imports from the region.
