China Would Never Help The U.S. In Iran
Summary
China's authoritarian regime has a long-standing history of refusing to assist the U.S. in international security matters. The Strait of Hormuz, a critical area for global oil transport, is unlikely to see any cooperation from China, which has consistently aligned itself with adversarial nations such as Russia, North Korea, and Iran.
China's interests in the Middle East focus on undermining U.S. readiness rather than fostering stability. The country has demonstrated a pattern of non-cooperation in international organizations, including a reluctance to contribute financially to the United Nations.
China's track record since 1949 shows a consistent refusal to engage positively in global security efforts. This historical context raises doubts about the feasibility of any partnership between the U.S. and China regarding security in the Strait of Hormuz.
