The research paper explores the evolving Sino-Iranian relations in the 21st century, focusing on their economic, diplomatic, military, ideological, and cultural connections. It presents two key geopolitical implications related to China's support for Iran amid the nuclear crisis. The first suggests that China prioritizes economic growth and may prefer positive relations with the U.S. over backing Iran. The second considers Iran's potential membership in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, which could strain Sino-U.S. ties and promote Chinese and Russian ideologies, though the author deems this scenario unlikely.
