Abstract

:Chinese kept good relations with Persians in history. The two peoples began their intercourse more than two thousand years ago. Nowadays, oil, trade, North-western China’s security and international support are factors pushing Beijing to cooperate with Teheran. On the other hand, the US and other countries have paid more attention to Sino-Iranian relations, and these relations have encountered several troubles. At present there are several arguments in China on policy options toward Iran, for example, to continue a pro-Iran policy; to support the US policy; to sit on the fence or stand by.
