There are more and more white-eyed wolves that can't be fed, and even Iran, which is almost embattled, has begun to take advantage of China.
Just a few days ago, the famous news king Reuters revealed the surprising news that oil ** between China and Iran has almost come to a standstill.
The reason, of course, is not on China's side, it is Iran that has put forward a request for price increases, and the price increase is not small, an increase of 4 to 5 dollars per barrel, which is almost equivalent to 10% of the original **base**!
Not only that, but even oil companies that are already under contract have been temporarily stopped by Iran from delivering goods, waiting for China to raise prices as they demand.
I don't know for what reason the Iranian side is importing such a move, but this is no different from extortion, right?
Over the years, China has always shown its support for Iran, both economically and politically, and has always defended Iran's interests, even Iran's deterrent anti-ship missiles are still from Chinese technology.
Some time ago, with the help of China, Iran and Saudi Arabia came to reconcile and found a lot of tricks, which eased the relationship between Iran and Saudi Arabia and freed Iran to deal with other urgent matters.
The United States has also organized a multinational fleet to deal with the Houthi drone and missile attacks, and even destroyed a Houthi ship that attacked at sea a few days ago, which is not only a blow to the Houthis, but also a warning, and a warning to Iran, which is behind its back.
A few days ago, there was a big ** in Iran, and many people died, and the people in the country were panicked.
And what about Iran itself?There is also an appeal not to try to initiate retaliation against the Americans.
What does this mean, everyone should be able to figure it out, right?
What does Iran need most at this time?Isn't it just to build good relations with the big countries and increase one's confidence in confronting the United States?
But now Iran's high price hike is not a strange operation?
You know, in fact, Iran itself understands that Iran's oil export revenue, which accounts for about half of Iran's total exports, is the main pillar of Iran's foreign exchange acquisition.
Due to the sanctions imposed by Western countries, especially the United States, its oil buyers are limited, including China, which alone imported 43 million tons of Iranian oil in the first ten months of 2023.
Otherwise, most of Iran's oil will continue to sleep in the ground.
Besides, even if it wants to raise the price, then the contracts that have been signed should not be affected, and Iran should honestly fulfill the contracts.
It doesn't make sense to suspend the delivery of goods that have already signed a contract now, right?
Fortunately, China did not agree to Iran's unreasonable demand to raise prices, and also temporarily stopped oil transactions with Iran, demanding that Iran return to the normal ** agreed in the contract.
China is not in a hurry, because our current oil ** is diverse, and it is not limited to Iran.
Iran's idea of blackmailing China with oil is doomed to fail.
This incident also shows that there is no friend or impeccable partner in the world, everything is just interests.
As China, we don't put all our eggs in one basket, and neither will Iran.
The question now is, whether we are Iran or Iran, we must know how many eggs we can put in our own baskets.
Of course, whether the news of Reuters is as reliable as the roadside news still needs to be judged by everyone.
