Deviant tendencies in the path of Iran-China interaction

‌According to the economic correspondent of Fars News Agency, when the 13th government took the helm of the country on the 13th of August 1400, it promised not to tie the country’s problems to the nuclear negotiations and would pursue a balanced foreign policy for the national interest.

Now that less than five months have passed since the government took office, this promise and approach has borne fruit. The government has been able to import more than 150 million doses of vaccine in this short period of time coronavirus, Increase the number of daily casualties in the country from 600 to less than 80.

In addition, the government has been able to join the organization with Iran Shanghai, Provide new trade and economic opportunities for the country and sign important economic cooperation agreements with neighboring countries such as Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan and Pakistan.

All of the above actions have been taken by the United States without completing the Financial Action Task Force and the lifting of sanctions, and this is a significant achievement.

وی Lee Wijian, Director of West Asian and African Studies at the Institute for International Studies Shanghai In this regard Website The Global Times said: “Iran’s new government has reduced conflicts and tensions with neighboring countries and strengthened relations with China and Russia.”

Attempts by some currents to destroy economic relations with China

Despite the clear and tangible results of the 13th government’s approach, it seems that some currents are trying to poison and destroy public opinion by publishing untrue and untrue news, for example, some time ago in November of this year. , Announced by the Chamber of Commerce that the amount of Iranian oil exports to China in the first 7 months of 2021 is on average less than 1000 barrels per day.

The claim was made while a report by the US Congressional Research Service stated that Iran exported an average of 900,000 barrels to China in March 2021, and Reuters also reported that China’s average oil imports from Iran in three years, according to Vortexa. June, July and August were 560,000 barrels and Iran’s revenue from oil exports to China is estimated at $ 1.3 billion per month.

* Deviant orientations in the framework of the sanctions plan

In addition to the issue of Iranian oil exports to China, news was recently published in the country’s media that new restrictions were imposed on some Iranian ships to enter Chinese ports and vice versa.

‌‌October 24 this year, Massoud Daneshmand, member of the board Director Association of Transport Institutions with reference to traffic restrictions Linear Foreigners in Iranian ports have claimed because of sanctions: by tightening sanctions against Iran Linear Foreigners no longer come to Iran, many Iranian ports, including Bandar Abbas, Bandar Imam Khomeini, Bandar Bushehr, etc. are under sanctions, and only the port of Chabahar is exempt from sanctions. Therefore, ships that dock at these ports must accept the risk of entering the sanctions list, which is why now all foreign ships enter the country as a table, but regular and valid foreign container lines do not accept this risk, and even Chinese companies and Liners As Casco They also do not enter Iranian ports.

The two news reports, which were released shortly after each other, apparently signaled new developments and events in sanctions. A few months It is recent and that the Chinese government has restricted its trade with Iran due to the risk of sanctions, but this is despite the fact that the last time the sanctions were imposed by the institutions responsible for imposing sanctions in the United States was in May 2016. Is coming backکه The US State Department has issued a Sanctions Guide for ports and cargo terminals, identifying risky activities in the field of maritime trade.

In addition, allegations of a ban on Iranian ships entering major Chinese ports have been denied by those in charge. At present, there are traffic to Chinese ports and the main maritime trade of our country is with China.

Also, Massoud Paul Meh, Secretary General of the Iranian Shipping and Related Services Association, said on November 4 that for Chinese ports Tonnage It is important and Tonnage The above is a higher priority. At present, China has allocated three ports to Iranian ships, which allow our ships to dock, load and unload in these ports.

These statements, along with the US government’s sanctions measures, show that in A few months In the past, there has been no new change in Iran’s trade relations with China regarding ports and cargo terminals, and it seems that if there is a change, it must be two years ago, when the United States zeroed its oil import exemption from Iran. The sanctions phase of major Chinese government companies such as Casco شد.

Providing false statistics and information about economic interaction with China has no consequence other than weakening and destroying these relations; Dealing with China, on the other hand, has greatly helped the country’s economy during the period of maximum sanctions. Therefore, weakening and destroying Iran’s economic interactions with China is a game in the US sanctions puzzle.

Unrealistic and unreliable information is published by currents that have made great efforts to complete the US sanctions puzzle by magnifying the role of the Financial Action Task Force in the Iranian economy. And they have taken a number of steps that have helped to establish the American side of the narrative as the administrative part of the sanctions.
