Niall Ferguson: Why Peace with Iran Is Inconceivable
"The reason Iran has so many missiles still that it can fire is that the Chinese supplied all the components of those missiles. The reason Putin's war machine can grind on is that the Chinese provide a substantial amount of dual use and we now learn military equipment to the Russian army. So, China is in a sense the sponsor of both these conflicts on the side of the authoritarian powers."
Ferguson reveals China's direct material support for both the Iran and Russia war efforts, providing missile components to Tehran and dual-use plus military equipment to Moscow. Despite this sponsorship of U.S. adversaries, the Trump administration has avoided confronting Beijing because it seeks a trade deal following America's loss in last year's trade war with China.
