We Can't Ignore China-Iran Alliance

For decades, China has pursued a quiet, calculated ascent to global dominance. It has done so not just through economic manipulation and military expansion, but by cultivating strategic alliances with rogue regimes that share a deep disdain for Western democracy. 

One of the most important, yet underappreciated, of these relationships is China's bond with the Islamic Republic of Iran. The implications of this alliance, especially now as Iran teeters on the brink of internal collapse, are not just regional. They are global. 

And they may shape the outcome of a new, emerging world order. 

With recent developments in Iran — escalating internal unrest, Israeli military threats, and President Donald Trump signaling a willingness to target Tehran's nuclear infrastructure — we may be witnessing the slow-motion implosion of the regime. 

If the mullahs fall, the effects will ripple far beyond the Middle East. Chief among those impacted will be the Chinese Communist Party. 

Beijing has spent the last decade deepening economic and military ties with Iran. From joint naval exercises to oil imports and infrastructure investment, the CCP sees Iran as both a strategic partner and a necessary counterweight to American influence. 

Iran is a cornerstone in China's Belt and Road Initiative. Its oil flows are critical to sustaining China's industrial machine. Its ports offer a physical footprint near U.S. allies and naval routes. 

But regime change in Tehran would shatter that investment. A free Iran, aligned with the West, would represent a major geopolitical and economic setback for the CCP. It would cut off a key supplier of energy, fracture China's access to the Persian Gulf, and threaten the broader anti-American axis that Beijing has worked so hard to build. 

Make no mistake: China is not a passive observer of Iran's turmoil. It is deeply invested in the regime's survival. 

That's why we're seeing Beijing issue warnings to its citizens to flee Iran. Not because it cares about their safety, but because it senses a shift that could undercut its global ambitions. 

And this is where the United States must act with clarity and strategic foresight. We have a chance — perhaps a fleeting one — to weaken two adversaries with one blow. 

Supporting the Iranian people in their fight for freedom, and empowering the organized resistance to fill the vacuum, could dismantle not just a terror-exporting regime, but a vital node in China's international web.
