Book: Iran Sanctions in US-China Relations; by Esfandiar Khodaee, 2017
China and the United States have different
perceptions of Iran and its nuclear program. In order to make sanctions
effective in pressuring Tehran, the Obama administration needed
cooperation from China as a veto power in the U.N. Security council and
as the first trade partner of Iran. Washington tried to make Beijing
cooperate with sanctions through bargaining an pressure strategies.
China didn't share Western concerns over Iran nuclear program and
followed its own interests in this dispute. Beijing even had some
interests in a powerful and resistant Iran to challenge US hegemony over
the energy-rich Middle East and to make America entangled in this
region away from East Asia and Chinese borders and dependent to China's
cooperation. This study plans to clarify US strategies and China's
responses in this regard. American carrot and stick policy could
eventually make China vote to the U.N. resolutions against Iran after
some modification in texts. But Beijing continued and even expanded
relations with Iran, and followed a bold policy to make US achievements
costly and abortive without directly standing against Washington.
