Shadow Conflict: How Iran Became Ground Zero in the US-China Rivalry

Beneath the headlines, the showdown with Iran is about far more than nuclear ambitions or regional rivalries—it's about countering China’s expanding global influence. In our latest interview, Edward Gustely reveals how Iran’s deep economic ties to China make it a critical link in China’s strategic ambitions.

Why U.S. actions in Iran are actually a move to disrupt China’s access to energy, technology, and key global choke points. We also cover how the “denial strategy” extends from the Middle East to Latin America—and the risks this Great Power rivalry poses to global markets and geopolitical stability.

Key insights from Edward Gustely:

•China’s Energy Lifeline: 80–90% of Iran’s oil exports go to China, pumping billions into Iran’s economy. •$400 Billion Partnership: China’s 25-year deal invests in Iranian energy, tech, and infrastructure. •US Denial Strategy: Disrupting China’s access to critical resources in Iran, Venezuela, and beyond. •Battle for Global Order: The U.S. counters BRICS •Supply Chain Showdown: Control over critical minerals and technologies for the future. •Proxy & Pressure: China’s growing influence through Iran and its regional partners. The Iran Terror premium that delivers very low energy prices to competitive advantage to the CCP and keeps much of the world divided with the end goal is ultimately for what remains of the free world to be conquered! •Non-Aligned Challenge: Countries like Indonesia and Spain face pressure to choose sides, as the US ends tolerance for non-alignment.

USTR Greer Announces Launch of Sec 301 Trade Investigations into 16 Economies Including the EU

• When the Supreme Court made their ridiculous decision to nullify the import tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) use, the high court noted several alternate approaches would not be legally problematic. One of those approaches would be the use of Section 301 trade tariffs.
• USTR Jamieson Greer quietly announced that a Section 301 review would be taking place for the following countries: China, the European Union, Singapore, Switzerland, Norway, Indonesia, Malaysia, Cambodia, Thailand, Korea, Vietnam, Taiwan, Bangladesh, Mexico, Japan, and India.”
• ♦ Section 301 tariffs are a trade enforcement mechanism established under the Trade Act of 1974. They allow the U.S. government to impose tariffs on imports from countries that are found to be engaging in unfair trade practices. The Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) conducts investigations to determine if a country is violating trade agreements, and if so, it can impose tariffs as a corrective measure {SOURCE}
• USTR PRESS RELEASE – WASHINGTON —

• “The United States will no longer sacrifice its industrial base to other countries that may be exporting their problems with excess capacity and production to us. Today’s investigations underscore President Trump’s commitment to reshore critical supply chains and create good-paying jobs for American workers across our manufacturing sectors,” said Ambassador Greer.
• “The Trump Administration’s reindustrialization efforts continue to face significant challenges due to foreign economies’ structural excess capacity and production in manufacturing sectors. Across numerous sectors, many U.S. trading partners are producing more goods than they can consume domestically. This overproduction displaces existing U.S. domestic production or prevents investment and expansion in U.S. manufacturing production that otherwise would have been brought online. In many sectors, the United States has lost substantial domestic production capacity or has fallen worryingly behind foreign competitors.” (read more)
• Additionally, Section 232 [Steel and Aluminum examples] of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (19 U.S.C. §1862, as amended) authorizes the President to impose trade restrictions—such as a tariff or quota—if the Secretary of Commerce determines, following an investigation, that imports of a good “threaten to impair” U.S. national security. {SOURCE}
• Section 232 is currently covering all the steel and aluminum import tariffs.
• Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 allows the U.S. president to impose tariffs of up to 15% to address “large and serious” balance-of-payments deficits. This authority can be exercised without prior congressional approval for a limited duration of 150 days. After this period, any tariffs must be extended by Congress. {SOURCE}
• 
  
• USTR Greer is now walking through the process of deploying Section 301 and will eventually become the legal underpinning to replace Section 122 and retain all tariff status without congressional extension needed. Most of this is technical and legal compliance as several of the aforementioned nations have already finalized free trade agreements.

USA cuts off China's access to energy resources. China attacks the USA. WWIII starts. America blames China for starting the war.

Hmm, it's just like Japan and WWII all over again.

Oh, that's an interesting thougtht.

Another resource war just like most since way back when. Plausible for sure.

Could it be that China facing a further shortage and loss of Venezuelan and Iranian terror price advantage because



risks everything for them that a trade settlement ensues. It's a no guts no glory move but IF it causes a understanding due to mutual needs it is akin to ending another type of cold war or "great game" stand off?

In 1971, China was 40% renewable (biomass, hydro, solar, wind, wood, dung) As average Chinese got 35x richer over the period, fossil fuels maxed at 92% in 2011, now 87% in 2023 China is predominantly fossil fuel-powered, as is the rest of the world https://iea.org/data-and-statistics/data-product/world-energy-balance https://iea.org/countries/china

Could it be that the globalists through their puppet carney have their aspirations to rescue their huge investment in chyna with Alberta and Saskatchewan’s energy resources and thus all their efforts to sabatoge canada to complete the steal?



It's not like the globalists have shown any love for the rule of law, democracies, freedom, etc, for a very long time - have they?

They do show a great love love for control and wealth (and fossil fuels and bankster activities have always furthered their wealth greatly leading to ever greater control)

Energy is the master currency for all species and always has been!

Does Russia have the production capacity to sell more oil to China? Will Carney let Canada to sell more oil to China?

According to AI China accounts for 5% of oilsands production. Honestly I thought it would of been a little higher.....

Yes, Chinese state-owned companies own oil and gas assets in Canada, primarily through subsidiaries operating in Alberta's oil sands. Key players include PetroChina Canada, which operates the MacKay River project, as well as CNOOC International Ltd. and Sinopec Canada Energy Ltd., collectively accounting for approximately 5% of oilsands production.
