Charting China
The US–Israel war against Iran has had a measured impact on China. China’s economy has weathered supply-chain shortages better than those of other Asian and European countries, and American interventionism has benefitted its efforts to promote an alternative world order. In addition, the war in Iran has diverted some American assets from the Pacific and contributed to the depletion of ‘finite levels’ of munitions in the United States.
Nevertheless, analysis of Chinese scholarship and the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) official response to the conflict identifies key areas of concern that are likely under discussion internally, including China’s vulnerability to global supply chains, the impact of the war on China’s ability to project itself as a neutral leader of the ‘Global South’ and how US actions may coerce middle powers away from China.
