Iran-China Axis Fuels South China Sea Tensions I Protecting Iran oil tankers affects more countries

The new U.S. position is related to the Iran-China Axis. Beijing is said to be in the final stages of approving a $400 billion economic and security deal, in energy and other sectors with Teheran, and would also hold joint exercises with the Iranian military, develop weapons and share intelligence. It would undercut the Trump white house’s efforts to isolate the Iranian government because of its nuclear and military ambitions. Oil tankers from the Middle East have to pass through the Strait of Malacca, from the South China Sea to China. The reliance on Iranian oil has increased, the CCP must have greater control over the South China Sea to protect the safety of shipping routes from Iran, forcing the Indian Ocean countries and countries in the South China Sea, not to dare cooperate with the United States to detain the tankers from Iran. International law generally recognizes the South China Sea as a free and open sea. To defend this principle, the United States has to contain the CCP with greater force. If the CCP is allowed to dominate the South China Sea, Japan will be choked by the CCP. Heated rhetoric has been on the rise in the region, where Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan, and Vietnam challenge China’s claim. Previously US policy had been to urge a peaceful resolution to the dispute through UN-backed arbitration. The new US position would be part of a broader and widening showdown with the CCP.

From Mao's China to Foggy Bottom: Miles Yu a key player in new approach to Beijing

As a native Chinese language speaker and a trained analyst, Mr. Yu is one of the few high-ranking officials capable of decoding Chinese Communist Party-speak. Better than most other China experts in the U.S. government and on the outside, Mr. Yu has been able to identify hidden vulnerabilities and weaknesses in the Chinese leadership.

Next was the U.S. government’s frequent failure to distinguish or sufficiently articulate the differences between the Chinese people and the ruling CCP elites, Mr. Yu said.
Senior U.S. statements often refer to “the Chinese,” failing to make the distinction between the Chinese people and the party-dominated regime.

“We have unwillingly succumbed to the CCP’s often blistering bluffs,” Mr. Yu said. “For decades, our China policy was carried out based upon an ‘anger management’ mode — that is, we formulated our China policy by calculating how mad the CCP might be at us, not what suits the best to American national interest.”
That approach, he said, resulted from a fundamental misunderstanding of China’s tactics: First raise the anger and rage level to a maximum level to see how the U.S. reacts.
“Unfortunately, too often we fell for this CCP sophistry and made our China policies to appease CCP sensitivities and fake outrage to avoid an often imagined and exaggerated direct confrontation with the seemingly enraged CCP. By doing so, we also failed to realize the enormous reputational and realistic advantages and leverage the U.S. has over a dictatorship,” Mr. Yu said.

In reality, the Chinese regime at its core is fragile and weak, fearful of its own people and utterly paranoid about confrontation from the West, especially the United States, he said.

In the old days, persia got rich being on the old silk route. So iran china cooperation is just a revival of that tie.
Japan too have good relationship with iran. But US sanctions forced them out of any assistance to the country.
I do not see iran as a threat. All their manoeuvres have been defensive. During the 8 year war with iraq, iran was under sanctions and they had to use human shield to defend against iraqi aggression.

Take out the big brother and all the little brothers (Iran, Venezuela, North Korea) will no longer be a threat.

Buy oil from Iran all you want, see if you can get the oil shipments to land at the ports in China.

If all of the recent policies on China is made from this guy's recommendation, then he is a bigger bluff than Trump himself. Just because he speaks Chinese, he has managed to convince idiots in the white house he can decode China's policies. What a joke.
