Ongoing tensions between the United States and Iran provide significant strategic and economic advantages for China. As the U.S. focuses military and diplomatic resources on Middle Eastern stability, Beijing benefits from a reduced American presence in the Indo-Pacific. China has become Iran’s primary economic partner, purchasing the vast majority of its oil exports through specialized refineries and utilizing the yuan to bypass international sanctions. While regional instability complicates global trade routes, China maintains a policy of non-intervention, balancing its economic interests with its long-term geopolitical competition with the United States.
- China currently purchases approximately 90% of Iran’s oil exports, providing a critical financial lifeline for the Iranian economy despite international sanctions.
- Small, independent Chinese refineries known as “teapots” process the majority of Iranian crude, often using the Chinese yuan to avoid the U.S. dollar-dominated financial system.
- Increased U.S. military involvement in the Middle East diverts American resources and attention away from the Indo-Pacific, which aligns with China’s regional strategic goals.
- Despite the impact of Houthi attacks on Red Sea shipping, China has declined to join U.S.-led maritime security coalitions, maintaining a stance of non-interference.
- Beijing utilizes regional conflicts to criticize U.S. foreign policy and present itself as a diplomatic alternative to Western influence in the Middle East.
- While China values stability for its Belt and Road Initiative, it remains reluctant to assume a security role, leaving the U.S. to bear the logistical costs of protecting regional trade routes.

Buying oil from Iran is not supporting Iran. It is commercial. No country in the world should dictate who to do business.
China needs oil for its own ppl's everyday life.
Buying oil is a must for the Chinese government and Chinese people.
We believe in diplomacy not luck – China
is Germany the hidden winner of Isreal war crimes in the middle east?
This video is a lie. Iran war has coat major military credibility for China. Iran importedd their "iron dome" from China all of which spectacularly failed aganst US and isreal. Every military around the world who had orders in the pipeline knows china tech is trash. Basically, lack of wars meant china could fool nations with their jingoistic military claims but once irab war broke out, it exposed them throughly.
The cause and foundation of the problem is Italy and France Paris,, America,, in jesus mighty name Amen,, Salam Aleikum, wa Aleikum Salam,,,
it's funny, in dw's view, china could basically profits from everything😂😂
Without any doubt, Russia is biggest winner from this war. Where is europe? That is for dw to answer
China isn't profitting from the war. China need the oil from Iran. Russia is making money because oil and gas prize. China ultimately can benefits if Iran survive
Forget China and America, the biggest fact revealed in 2026 is that Europe is no longer a viable continent moving forward, economically or militarily.
Trump wins big，according to Trump; Iran is claiming victory; Russia is winning too; and of course China wins.
Win, win, win, win, …. Nice war!
EU still buy oil from Russia
Germany needs to look in the mirror if they have concerns about China. Your leader was recently there making bad deals like you did with Russia before the Ukraine war.
中国还购买了美国一大堆商品呢，也是支持美国吧？
Maybe Stop the War…!
what's German government's position on freedom of navigation? still only apply to China?
so, china won without firing a shot.
China will surpass the US in technology, no matter what Trump or anyone else does. This is where China gets its confidence to sit back and watch the show unfold.
China: when US and Israel is booming Iran, why you guys keep eyes on me?
Poor Joseph Borrell,. When the gardeners behave like jungles animals and destroying the garden while the "jungle animals" are the one who behave civilly and trying to save the garden. Such irony.
Once the US massively destroys Iran's infrastructure, Iran will be dependent on China's help.
Then neither the Shia nor its intelligence service will help Iran.
Iran will have to listen to Beijing differently than before!
Must STOP oil into China , so it will collapse.
meanwhile in reality ; as of early 2026, China's SOLAR POWER generation ALONE is sufficient to cover the total electricity demand of JAPAN.
You should have another report, how Israel profits from us-Iran war. We all know the only winner of this war is Israel 😅
The real winner is US colony germany.
No China is not a winner; however, sales of popcorn and sodas did go up despite increased prices.
is it bad to help iran ? is it good to help israel?
🇱🇷🇱🇷🖍️🖍️A Message to the Western World from a Farmer in Bangladesh
Subject: A Plea for Peace and Humility in a Divided World
"I may be a simple farmer from Bangladesh with limited formal education, but I work with the soil every day, and the soil teaches us truths that no book can. I see a world where great powers are blinded by their own strength, and I want to share a few realizations from the perspective of the common people:
The Law of Interdependence: No nation is an island. You may be wealthy and technologically advanced, but nature has designed us to be dependent on one another. Even a man with 2,000 acres of land must eventually walk on his neighbor’s path to reach his home. You have the machines, but we have the hands and the labor. Without the worker, the machine is just cold metal. Nature never leaves anyone truly empty; every nation holds a piece of the puzzle that the others need to survive.
The Lesson of the Small Bolt: You build motorcycles worth millions, but they cannot run without a tiny bolt worth a single cent. In this world, the common people, the farmers, and the laborers are those 'tiny bolts.' You have focused so much on building the engine of war that you have forgotten to tighten the bolt of human connection. When the air of trust leaks out, even your most expensive systems will fail.
Creation vs. Destruction: True education should teach us how to sustain life, not how to end it. It pains my heart to see the world's most brilliant minds earning degrees in how to build submarines and missiles to spill blood. Why is your wisdom used to destroy the earth instead of healing it? Blood cannot make the soil fertile; only sweat and care can.
The Arrogance of Power: The fall of empires begins when they stop seeing other people as human. Do not let your pride convince you that your sun will never set. Nature has a way of balancing itself. If you continue to build your wealth on the suffering of others, the very nature you ignore will eventually demand an account.
My humble request: Stop trying to rule through fear. Look at the world as a shared kitchen where every 'spice' is necessary to make the meal flavorful. Let us live in a world where we value a bag of fertilizer more than a bomb, and a human life more than a piece of territory. Peace is possible only when the strong realize that they too need the weak."
China needs to buy oils from Iran to support its own economy. USA doesn’t like it doesn’t make it wrong. USA is not the center of the universe.
EU the winner 🏆 my friend ….
China a superpower in real time rather you love it or not 😂😂😂
The darnedest things dummymander into power proxy of ill gotten gains spew to justify their utterly useless existence now. Head count on terrorists will be joining trump putin jinping on sea floor?
EU profits from pdfily
DW News:
China this…..China that…. bla…bla …bla 😢
Looked into China's success and came up with a conclusion that it's pure luck. Either they are dumb or they can't admit China's system has an advantage over Western systems.
Very good analysis.
China also sends the message that is is allied with the Iranians, while Iran clearly is a mad theocracy. internationally, China seems to not understand it is no longer a weird 1960s Maoist basked case. If China pulled back from rogue states such as North Korea and Iran, stopped its bizarre obsession with Taiwan, and got vaguely interested in human rights, then clearly the sky is the limit for China. But right now China is a problematic semi-rogue country without friends.
U.S.regime extended ceasefire with himself
How US profits from the US-Iran war | DW News
Germany daddy MAGA started the Iran war but DW blaming China for not doing anything
头疼，你们德国人太意识形态了。伊朗石油便宜为啥不买？有病的人才买贵的石油呢。中国石油来源其实比较分散的。伊朗石油主要买家是我家乡山东私人企业，在当地石油很便宜。
China is not supporting anyone, China sells to everyone who wants to buy, in that case China is supporting US and Israel also because sells them th rare earths to build the weapons of the US industrial complex!
How about this: How Germany profits from the Israel genocide in Gaza
Those who listen to western media hate China until they visit China to see for themselves.
DW trying too hard to whitewash American crimes and scapegoating China
It's a joke 🤣🫵 right?
China got cut off half of their oil supply near all helium for chips fertilizer…
