Abstract

Abstract Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the international political and economic system has changed dramatically. The Western powers are in decline, while the non-western Asian and Eurasian powers are rising. The three-century-long Western dominated international system is giving way to a mixed system with Global North and Global South playing predominant roles simultaneously. In face of the changing international system, China and Iran are promoting strategic docking, and their relations have been updated from the comprehensive strategic partnership in 2016 to the 25-Year Strategic Cooperation Agreement in 2021. This development demonstrates the resilience of China’s strategic partnerships in the Middle East, and is conducive to building a more balanced international system and fostering South-South cooperation. The updated Sino-Iranian relations is defensive, and it does not target any third party, nor does it change China’s non-alignment policy in the Middle East. It is conducive to promoting regional reconciliation between Iran and Saudi-led Arab countries.

国际体系变化中的中伊战略合作协议

新冠肺炎疫情发生以来，国际政治经济体系发生了巨大变化。西方大国正在衰落，而非西方的亚洲和欧亚大国正在崛起。长达三个世纪的西方主导的国际体系正在让位于全球北方和全球南方同时发挥主导作用的混合体系。面对风云变幻的国际体系，中伊正在推进战略对接，两国关系从2016年的全面战略伙伴关系升级为2021年的25年战略合作协议。这体现了中国在中东战略伙伴关系的韧性，有利于构建更加均衡的国际体系，促进南南合作。更新后的中伊关系是防御性的，不针对第三方，也不改变中国在中东的不结盟政策。这有利于推动伊朗与以沙特为首的阿拉伯国家之间的地区和解。
