→Relations with Iran
As China is Iran's largest trading partner, the agreement, in addition to providing Iran with modern technology, would help its economy to grow. China, among other countries, helped Iran with its [[nuclear]] development several decades ago and has been regularly championing a return to the [[Iran nuclear deal]] or the [[JCPOA]]. For China, Iran is a welcome counterbalance to US influence in the region, as the only large regional power that is not aligned with the US, in addition to having enormous oil and natural gas resources and providing a large market of more than 80 million citizens for Chinese goods. The two countries, despite their marked [[ideological]] differences, share an [[authoritarian]], anti-[[Western alliance|Western]] outlook, making each attractive to the other.

=====US/Israel war on Iran=====
China was more involved in the [[Epic Fury|US/Israel war on Iran]] than was apparent.
Chinese Missile Supplies for Iran — China ships carbon fiber, dioctyl sebacate, and tools, to IRGC Aerospace Force for solid-fuel motors. This lets Iran rebuild & scale [[ballistic missile]] production toward thousands more by 2027, plus nearing deals for CM-302 supersonic anti-ship missiles to dominate naval strikes.<ref>https://t.me/newrulesgeo/1635</ref>
Jilin-1 Satellite Constellation & MizarVision Intel — China's ~120-satellite swarm provides HD real-time video tracking US troop movements, carriers, logistics, and defenses in Jordan/Gulf pre- and during strikes. MizarVision releases imagery to expose [[Western alliance|Western]] operations, breaking the intel monopoly and giving Iran an "open book" on threats while feeding Beijing battlefield data for future modeling.<ref>https://t.me/newrulesgeo/1596</ref>
Acceleration of China's Own Stealth Bomber Programs — China observed the US [[B-2]]/B-21 bombing against hardened Iranian targets and resolve that [[missile]]s/[[drone]]s can't match sustained pressure from reusable [[stealth]] platforms. This pushes urgency on Chinese H-20 long-range stealth bomber and JH-XX medium-range strike fighter, vital for contested environments like [[Taiwan Strait]], where persistent airstrikes could disrupt [[US]] bases in [[Japan]]/[[Guam]].<ref>https://t.me/newrulesgeo/1599</ref>
Rare Earths Leverage Over US Munitions — US arsenal depends on Chinese-controlled heavy [[rare earths]] for [[magnet]]s, [[radar]]s, guidance, and propulsion. [[Pentagon]] reserves low; early strikes on Iran burned Billions of dollars from stocks. Rebuilding damaged radars needs massive materials China dominates.<ref>https://t.me/newrulesgeo/1615</ref>
Tomahawk Depletion Window — US fired ~400 [[Tomahawk missile]]s in first 72 hours (>10% inventory gone) in Iran, but production is only 90/year, restock would take 4.5+ years at current rates. Each missile costs $2-4M; This creates a dangerous gap for China to exploit in [[Taiwan]] while Iran gains operational freedom.<ref>https://t.me/newrulesgeo/1632</ref>
Spy Fleet & Beidou Integration — Liaowang-1 [[surveillance]] ship + access to 500+ Chinese satellites track US launches/movements in [[Persian Gulf]]/[[Indian Ocean]] for early warnings. Iran fully switched to Beidou nav, ditching GPS, for reliable, interference-proof operations.<ref>https://t.me/newrulesgeo/1546</ref>
