In an article on China's reaction to new UN sanctions against Iran, INTA's John Garver said, "China recognises Iran as a very major power in the Gulf" It is positioning itself to develop friendly cooperation akin to its relationship with Pakistan... There are situations which could emerge in which Iranian co-operation could be very important to China "" such as some kind of western blockade of oil supplies. Having a major oil producer in the Gulf willing to thumb its nose at the US would be very, very useful."
