The Sino - American Economic Relationship and its Implication on the National Security of Iran

In spite of expansion of the economic relationship between the USA and China during the recent decades, some security-political elements are playing a divergent role within this relationship. Of course, they have attempted to distinct this area of dispute from economic cooperation and prevent the mutual interests to be disturbed. However, the orientation and destination of the relationship is not clear. Does the cooperation reduce the tension or vice versa. It seems that in the short term, the economic cooperation will continue, and as in the resent years, it will overshadow the other disagreements. Iran is one of these issues which can be managed, because continuation of cooperation with the USA is a priority to China.
