ONLINE: Public Talk by Zoom on "Iran–China
Relations: Separating Fact from Fiction" with James M. Dorsey and Asif
Shuja, Middle East Institute, NUS, 30 September 2020, 4 pm SGT
The leaking in recent months of an alleged 25-year
economic and military cooperation agreement between China and Iran has sparked
intense debate among Western and Middle Eastern policymakers, pundits and
journalists. If indeed signed, the agreement would significantly alter the
balance of power in the Middle East, potentially draw China into the
Saudi–Iranian conflict, and add one more dimension to tension between the
United States and China.
