The U.s. And China’s Attitude And Policy To The Iranian Nuclear Question

Résumé: Given its geopolitical significance, the Middle East has always been the dominant concern in world politics and foreign policy of major world powers. The region has witnessed foreign powers’ intervention for decades. Both American and Chinese relations to the region are long-standing. Policy requirements of the Second World War and the Cold War necessitated superpowers’ engagement and involvement in regional affairs, such as the U.S. However, the U.S. restraining influence in the Middle East has paved the way for other foreign powers to increase their engagement and seek a more prominent role. Therefore, China’s growing economic presence and involvement in the region has intensified in the last decade. The PRC seeks to recruit regional allies and extend its sphere of influence abroad. After the disclosure of Iran’s suspected nuclear programme, the U.S. and China have adopted different approaches and policies to the Iranian nuclear controversy. This work seeks to analyse the U.S. and China’s attitudes regarding the nuclear crisis. It examines the nature of the U.S. and China’s approaches and policies to the nuclear issue. It also endeavours to provide an understanding of the push factors and objectives of their policies toward Iran.
