“China has always been the biggest buyer” of Iranian oil, especially after American sanctions on Iran were expanded in 2019. China gets Iranian crude oil at a discount “of about 8% compared to the market price, because Iran has few other buyers.” Saeed Ghasseminejad, senior adviser on Iran from the Foundation for the Defense of […]
The Trump Iran Strikes Were a Message to China
America just became unpredictable. One of the great weaknesses of American foreign policy has been our predictability. Our opponents have been able to pinpoint what we would and would not do. While one President Trump’s greatest strengths has been his unpredictability. And on the Iran strikes, he not only kept everyone guessing until the last minute, […]
China’s Xi Arrives in Moscow as Putin’s Guest of Honor, Chinese Warship Shows up in Persian Gulf
For years, Jihad Watch has been warning about the red-green axis. As Middle East tensions rise given Iran’s nuclear ambitions, the regime has allied itself with Russia and China — two countries which separately have been strengthening their own relations in the face of Trump’s tariffs. China says that it is “tearing down walls”and “shaking […]
Syria pursues strengthened relations with China
News about improving relations between Syria and China is bad news for Israel. Syria, governed by jihadist Abu Mohammad al-Julani, who changed his name to Ahmed Hussein al-Sharaa in efforts to fool the gullible West (because he wants Western “humanitarian” aid) is now partnering with the anti-Israel, communist China. This is particularly bad news for […]
China calls for ‘restraint’ in India-Pakistan tensions, yet vows support to Pakistan
China is part of the red-green axis. As China pretends to be mediator of peace, it urges both India and Pakistan “to act with restraint” after the deadly Pahalgam jihad terror attack, despite the fact that Pakistani jihadists were the aggressors.

Pakistan warns of Islamic State plan to kidnap Chinese and Arab nationals attending ICC Champions Trophy 2025

The Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISIS-K), which is the group’s Central Asian arm, supports the creation and expansion of a global caliphate, as ISIS does everywhere. This caliphate would, of course, be governed by Salafi rules. The group engages in global jihad against the enemies […]
South Africa considers nuclear cooperation with Iran and Russia
South Africa is increasingly defining itself internationally as a rogue state, so it isn’t surprising that it would align itself with Iran. It presented its latest move toward partnering with Iran and Russia as a necessity: Samson Gwede Mantashe, South Africa’s minister of mineral resources and energy and a strong advocate for nuclear power expansion, […]
Pro-Iran China seeks ‘long-term’ development of relations with Israel, ‘two-state solution’
Communist China has no hesitation about collaborating even with countries it deems to be enemies if it suits what the Communist leadership perceives to be its interests. Israel is a world leader in technology, medicine, and science — an ideal economic partner. Partnering with Israel for economic reasons does not imply friendship or trust. The […]
