Recently, the first transaction between China and Iran has once again caused controversy, and Iran unilaterally tore up the contract and demanded that the first contract be raised on the basis of the original contract, resulting in losses for the Chinese side. The move not only angered China, but also drew global attention. What are the reasons for Iran's approach?
*China has been one of Iran's important customers throughout its trading history. However, due to the sanctions imposed on Iran by Western countries and the changes in the situation in the Middle East, Iran's oil exports are facing great troubles. Against this backdrop, Iran intends to increase the earnings of oil exports by raising prices in order to ease the pressure on its economy caused by US sanctions.
However, Iran's approach not only violates the spirit of the contract, but also underestimates China's wisdom and decisiveness in the economic and diplomatic fields. As the world's largest importer, China has strong negotiation power and diversified channels. Iran's oil accounts for only 10% of China's total imports, and China will not rely too much on Iran's **. In addition, China also has oil cooperation with Russia, the United States and other countries, so that China has more choice in oil imports.
At the same time, Iran should understand that China is not just a market for buying goods, and that the economic and trade relations between China and Iran are a whole. China's imports not only bring economic benefits to Iran, but also create opportunities for Iran to import other Chinese goods. Therefore, unilateral enhancement is not in line with the principle of mutual benefit and reciprocity between the two parties.
Iran may be mistaken in believing that China's demand for its cheap** is far greater than other alternatives. They may feel that the *** sold to China is too low, causing them to lose money, so they ask for a price increase. However, China's oil is a whole, and not only has China benefited from it, but Iran has also benefited greatly from the purchase of Chinese goods. The two sides should understand and respect each other and work together to maintain the stability of the cooperative relationship.
Iran may hope to increase its oil exports to China and contain the United States and other Western countries in order to enhance its position and influence on the international stage. Iran is currently facing U.S. sanctions, and its oil exports have been severely affected. By strengthening economic and trade cooperation with China, Iran hopes to ease the pressure of sanctions and maintain economic stability.
However, Iran may have grossly misjudged reality. Despite the geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East, these conflicts do not alter supply and demand in the global oil market. Iran should recognize that China, as a major country, upholds the principles of equality, mutual benefit, respect for sovereignty and non-interference in its internal affairs in its international relations. Oil** is essential for maintaining the stability of economic activity, and Iran should maintain its economic and trade relations with China through cooperation and contract compliance.
In short, Iran's increase in oil is contrary to the spirit of the contract and underestimates China's negotiating power and diversified channels. By cooperating with other countries, China can reduce its dependence on Iran and ensure its own energy security. Iran should recognize that its economic and trade relations with China are based on the principle of mutual benefit and should maintain cooperation with China, rather than unilaterally raising the country. Through cooperation and mutual respect, China and Iran can establish stronger relations in the economic and trade fields and further promote the common development of both sides.
