Xi Jinping shot the arrow secretly! China got these 5 great benefits in America-Iran war

New Delhi: China did not play any direct role in the ongoing war between Iran and America. Neither did he provide weapons nor send soldiers. Still, China got many big benefits while sitting quietly. President Xi Jinping observed the situation carefully and took full advantage of America’s engagement. Without firing a single shot, China strengthened its position on many fronts. Let us know its 5 main benefits.

1. Acquired information about American weapons

During the war, America extensively used its modern weapons like JASSM-ER missile, Tomahawk cruise missile, Patriot and THAAD anti-missile system. Due to this, America’s arms stock reduced significantly. China watched the entire war closely.

He understood how America uses AI and drones and how cheap drones can weaken expensive defense systems. This information is very valuable for China, especially as it can be taken advantage of in future tensions like Taiwan.

2. Strong position remained in the energy sector

Oil supply was affected due to tension in the Strait of Hormuz. Many countries are facing energy crisis, but China was already prepared. China is the world’s largest player in the supply chain of solar, wind, batteries and electric vehicles.

It fulfills 85% of its energy needs and has good reserves of oil. More than 20% of its total energy consumption comes from renewable and nuclear sources. Because of this, despite the crisis, China’s position remained stronger than others.

3. Diplomatic image improved

America kept making aggressive statements, while China remained quiet. He tried to organize talks between the two sides through Pakistan. Due to this, China is being seen as a stable and reliable power in many countries. America’s allies also realized that America is not always able to support in times of crisis. This peaceful image of China is increasing its global influence.

4. Advances in AI and technology

AI related projects in the Middle East were affected due to the war. Investments of Western companies stopped or were at risk. China already has a strong AI infrastructure. It can move without any outside help and has the second largest AI computing capacity in the world. Taking advantage of this opportunity, China is further strengthening its lead in the technology sector.

5. Increased control over rare earth minerals

Rare earth minerals are very important in modern weapons and technology. China controls 70% of the world’s mining and 90% of processing. The more weapons America used, the more its dependence on China increased. China got strategic benefit from this.
