Why China Won’t Help Iran - Foreign Affairs
Overview
China is closely monitoring U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran but is unlikely to provide Tehran with direct military or political cover. The emergence of private Chinese firms marketing detailed intelligence on foreign forces undermines Beijing’s public posture of distance and complicates diplomatic messaging. Reporting that large numbers of Uyghurs fought in Syria highlights Beijing’s parallel concern about domestic security and returned fighters, reinforcing why China balances trade interests with efforts to control private-sector data flows and nonstate actors' activities.
