The Iran-Israel conflict isn't denting Chinese business optimism in the Middle East

BEIJING — The recent flare-up in Middle East tensions isn't denting Chinese business optimism about opportunities in the region. Chinese shipments to Dubai's logistics hub have risen by 20% this month from a year ago, as locals stock up on batteries and daily necessities, according to estimates from Bear Huo, China general manager at FundPark, a fintech startup that lends money to small Chinese businesses selling overseas via internet platforms. "Overall, Chinese merchants are relatively optimistic," he said Monday in Mandarin, according to a CNBC translation. That's partly due to the relatively recent rise of the Middle East as a fast-growing market, he added. Chinese companies have increasingly turned to the region in the last few years — whether to raise money from local investors or to tap a new market for electric cars — amid trade tensions with the United States. On the geopolitical front, Beijing helped Riyadh and Tehran restore diplomatic relations in 2023. Huo's view is that the Iran-Israel tensions will end relatively soon, given that even the U.S. strikes have targeted specific strategic sites, and as fighting isn't spread out along a border as in the drawn-out conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Nevertheless, risks remain elevated as the Dubai port is right across the Strait of Hormuz from Iran. Ships are moving more slowly and there are fewer flights, Huo said. He said he does not know where products from Chinese sellers go to after they arrive in Dubai, and added that the company doesn't directly do business with Iran because of sanctions. China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it "strongly condemns" the U.S. attacks on Iran over the weekend, while calling on all parties involved to "reach a ceasefire as soon as possible." China's trade with Iran has dropped sharply in the last two years, according to customs data accessed via Wind Information. The U.S.-sanctioned crude exporter has relied significantly on Beijing's purchases. "A more stable Middle East serves China's economic and strategic interests," said Yue Su, Beijing-based principal economist for China at the Economist Intelligence Unit. "Beijing will be interested to position itself as a constructive power capable of contributing to global stability," she said. She noted that Chinese businesses will likely interact cautiously with Iran, given concerns over possible secondary sanctions. State news broadcaster CCTV aired interviews Sunday of Chinese citizens grateful for Beijing's efforts to evacuate them from Iran. While there are strict warnings on U.S. citizens traveling to Iran, Chinese citizens have been able to visit Iran without a visa for three weeks, for tourism or business. Most Chinese nationals who were in Iran have been evacuated, the Chinese Embassy in Iran said Monday. On an even more optimistic note, if the latest escalation results in a relaxation of U.S. sanctions on Iran, tens of thousands of Chinese businesses would likely rush to the Middle Eastern country to build up its tourism, real estate and overall infrastructure, said Qin Gang, Beijing-based founder of a consultancy that translates as Ode & Song Cultural Industry. He said he visited five cities in Iran in 2013 at the invitation of Mahan Air, a private-sector Iranian airline.

CEA Opens Shanghai–Auckland–Buenos Aires "New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor" to First Bridge China and South America

SHANGHAI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--On June 18, 2025, China Eastern Airlines (CEA) and Auckland Airport signed a cooperation agreement in Shanghai. According to the plan, CEA will launch commercial flights in December 2025 from Shanghai Pudong International Airport to Ministro Pistarini International Airport via Auckland Airport. The signing ceremony was attended by government officials, corporate representatives, and heads from relevant departments. New Zealand's Prime Minister Christopher Luxon highlighted that the new route will enhance global connectivity by linking Auckland with the dynamic economies of Asia and South America. He also announced that New Zealand will implement a visa-free transit policy for Chinese travelers passing through Auckland. Since the opening of the route to Auckland in 2014, CEA has shown strong growth. Chairman Wang Zhiqing stated that the airline will leverage its Shanghai hub to accelerate the construction of its global route network. The new route will serve as a vital bridge among New Zealand, China, the Asia-Pacific region, and South America, supporting the Belt and Road Initiative. Auckland Airport expressed satisfaction with the imminent realization of the jointly envisioned " New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor". CEA, Auckland Airport's key partner and now the leading carrier on the China–New Zealand route, has maintained steady operations and consistently expanded capacity. The new service, to be operated twice weekly by Boeing 777, will be the only direct air link between Argentina and China, filling the gap in direct air services between the two nations. The "New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor" shortens travel time by 4–5 hours versus European or North American routes and offers direct flights, while also reducing jet lag—passengers only face a 4-hour time difference when transiting through Auckland, as opposed to 12 hours via traditional Western routes. CEA plans to apply for fifth freedom for this route, enabling passenger and cargo transport in Auckland, boosting economic, trade, and people-to-people exchanges among New Zealand, China, and Argentina. Currently, CEA operates flights from Auckland to both Shanghai Pudong and Hangzhou Xiaoshan. Following the new route launch, CEA will boost New Zealand–China capacity deployment, increasing Auckland–Shanghai flights from 7 to 9 weekly. Note: The new route remains subject to final regulatory approval.

US asks China to stop Iran from closing Strait of Hormuz

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has called on China to prevent Iran from closing the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most important shipping routes. His comments came after Iran's state-run Press TV reported that their parliament had approved a plan to close the Strait but added that the final decision lies with the Supreme National Security Council. Any disruption to the supply of oil would have profound consequences for the global economy. China in particular is the world's largest buyer of Iranian oil and has a close relationship with Tehran. Oil prices have surged following the US' attack, with the price of the benchmark Brent crude reaching its highest level in five months. "I encourage the Chinese government in Beijing to call them (Iran) about that, because they heavily depend on the Straits of Hormuz for their oil," Marco Rubio had said in an interview with Fox News on Sunday. "If they [close the Straits]... it will be economic suicide for them. And we retain options to deal with that, but other countries should be looking at that as well. It would hurt other countries' economies a lot worse than ours." Around 20% of the world's oil passes through the Strait of Hormuz, with major oil and gas producers in the Middle East using the waterway to transport energy from the region. Any attempt to disrupt operations in the Strait could could send global oil prices skyrocketing. They jumped to their highest since January, with the price of Brent crude reaching $78.89 a barrel as of 23:22 GMT Sunday. "The US is now positioned with an overwhelming defence posture in the region to be prepared for any Iran counter attacks. But the risk for oil prices is the situation could escalate severely further," said Saul Kavonic, Head of Energy Research at MST Financial. The cost of crude oil affects everything from how much it costs to fill up your car to the price of food at the supermarket. China in particular buys more oil from Iran than any other nation - with its oil imports from Iran surpassing 1.8 million barrels per day last month, according to data by ship tracking firm Vortexa. Energy analyst Vandana Hari has said Iran has "little to gain and too much to lose" from closing the Strait. "Iran risks turning its oil and gas producing neighbours in the Gulf into enemies and invoking the ire of its key market China by disrupting traffic in the Strait", Hari told BBC News. The US joined the conflict between Iran and Israel over the weekend, with President Donald Trump saying Washington had "obliterated" Tehran's key nuclear sites. However, it's not clear how much damage the strikes inflicted, with the UN's nuclear watchdog saying it was unable to assess the damage at the heavily fortified Fordo underground nuclear site. Iran has said there was only minor damage to Fordo. Trump also warned Iran that they would face "far worse" future attacks if they did not abandon their nuclear programme. On Monday, Beijing said the US' attack had damaged Washington's credibility and called for an immediate ceasefire. China's UN Ambassador Fu Cong said all parties should restrain "the impulse of force... and adding fuel to the fire", according to a state-run CCTV report. In an editorial, Beijing's state newspaper Global Times also said US involvement in Iran "had further complicated and destabilized the Middle East situation" and that it was pushing the conflict to an "uncontrollable state".
