According to a notice issued by the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the 15th of this month, my country's State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi held talks with Wuxi and Iranian Foreign Minister Abdullahyan. The representatives of the two countries jointly announced the formal launch of the implementation of the China-Iran comprehensive cooperation plan. This move immediately sparked international public opinion, and various Western media reported on this in detail. Although Western media still "sarcastic" in strategic cooperation between China and Iran, it has to be admitted that China is becoming a "main political and economic player" in the Gulf region.
It is reported that Iranian Foreign Minister Abdullahyan highly praised the two countries for their ability to expand bilateral cooperation, and made it clear in an interview that being able to officially launch the implementation of the two countries' comprehensive cooperation plan is one of the "major achievements" of this trip to China, so that the Iranian media could not suppress their excitement and reported on the title "China-Iran Agreement, the end of Washington's hegemony."
Iran attaches so much importance to this strategic cooperation agreement, the fundamental reason is that since the United States unilaterally withdrew from the Iran nuclear agreement in 2018 and restored its economic sanctions on Iran, Iran's economic situation, especially foreign exchange inventory, has already lit up a red light.
Although the specific content of the agreement has not been released to the public, some sources have revealed that the details of the agreement have many similarities with the content of the documents disclosed in 2020. For example, China will invest in dozens of fields such as Iran's telecommunications and infrastructure in 25 years, and the total amount of these investments will be as high as US$400 billion. In exchange, China will receive conventional oil supply from Iran. In fact, from the data from authoritative institutions, China's average daily oil imports from Iran in 2021 reached 590,000 barrels, the highest level of the United States' reopening of sanctions against Iran.
However, just as the top leaders of China and Iran began to talk about future cooperation, the Western media led by the United States could not control their sour grapes and began to sarcastically sarcasticly regarding China-Iran cooperation. The famous " Wall Street Journal " did not forget to save face for the Biden administration. First, it belittled "Made in China" is synonymous with "low quality", even though the United States itself imports hundreds of billions of dollars of goods from China every year.
then vigorously exaggerated the power of US economic sanctions, saying that before the Biden administration lifted sanctions on Iran, "it is not yet certain how much risk China is willing to bear for Iran." However, these US media deliberately did not mention that in the past four years, China has suffered more pressure on the external economic than Iran, and almost all of these pressures came from the hands of the United States, but China can still grow against the trend under this pressure, and the United States itself is also suffering more and more backlash.
It is worth mentioning that Iranian President Lehi also plans to visit Russia in the near future. It is expected that the two sides will sign a 20-year cooperation agreement, and the content of the agreement revolves around trade and military relations. In addition, Iran has also reached new trade agreements with some Asian countries to exchange oil and natural gas for the products they need, such as Sri Lanka tea, Pakistan rice, and even discuss Iran's domestic housing infrastructure issues with Turkey . In fact, compared to Iran's "for-use of goods" to evade sanctions, what is more important is that some countries have dared to trade with Iran under the pressure of US sanctions, which means that US sanctions are being torn off their final disguise. Once this method cannot produce deterrent effect, the first thing that will be impacted is the hegemony of the United States.
