War lays bare limits of China's asymmetric partnership with Iran
A seven-month US-Israeli war against Iran has sharpened the gap between Tehran's economic dependence on Beijing and China's political and security commitments, according to a Radio Zamaneh analysis. China remains Iran's most important oil buyer, but it has not entered a military confrontation to break the blockade or sacrificed its broader ties with Persian Gulf Arab states. The crisis over the Strait of Hormuz exposes both the limits of the partnership and a widening fissure in a multipolar global order.
