China & Iran - Peking zeigt politisch mehr Flagge in Vorderasien
Die massive ökönomische Zusammenarbeit dieser Länder wird flankiert durch eine intensive, aber zumindest in der Öffentlichkeit wenig beachteten Kooperation in der Sicherheits- und Rüstungszusammenarbeit. Die Haltung Chinas in Syrien zeigt, daß sie anfangen öffentlicher Position zu beziehen. Der Weg, die Seidenstraße führt über Persien.
Iran and China defence and intelligence cooperation: the space dimension
The recent visit to Tehran by China’s defence minister, Chang Wanquan, is the latest indicator of increasing defence and intelligence cooperation between Iran and China, as each country’s strategic, economic, and geopolitical goals align in Eurasia as well as the Middle East.
Neben Russland ist China nicht nur bei ziviler Zusammenarbeit in Industrie und Technik der Partner der (Not-)Wahl, sondern auch für den Kauf- und Technologietransfer für die Lizensproduktion von Großwaffensystemen. Kampfflugzeuge, U-Boote, Kriegsschiffe, Kampfpanzer usw.
Iran is thought to be interested in acquiring China’s Chengdu J10B 3rd generation fighter jets, as well as Chinese unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), ant-ship cruise missiles, submarines, and perhaps also a license for Iran to manufacture the Chinese MBT 2000 or even the MBT 3000 tank.
Die Zusammenarbeit bei der Luft- und vor allen Dingen Raumfahrt rückt immer mehr in den Fokus. Der Iran ist erpicht auf Technologie.
Often not mentioned in discussions about Sino-Iranian military and intelligence cooperation, however, are the actual and potential areas of collaboration in national security space.
For example, it is already known that Iranian defence electronics company Salran signed an agreement in October 2015 with Chinese defence and aerospace companies to start using BeiDou satellite positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) equipment on Iranian missiles, UAV’s, and other military capabilities that in turn will improve their accuracy, effectiveness, and lethality. Analysts in the Middle East and the West are aware of significant modernisation efforts underway in Iran on a range of its weapon systems, and there are growing signs that Tehran is looking at shifting away from its purely defensive military doctrine to one that will increasingly use offensive systems for the purpose of coercion.
Die iranische Raumfahrtbehörde hat einige Satelliten in der Warteschleife für den Start. Auf den eigenen Weltraumbahnhöfen, wie im Ausland. Teheran kooperiert dabei mit euroäischen, asiatischen Staaten. Russland und vor allen Dingen auch mit China. Der Iran ist neben dem zivilen Nutzen natürlich genauso wie die anderen Staaten auch auf die militärische Dimension aus. Teheran arbeitet schon länger auch an Möglichkeiten weltraumbasierter Vernetzung. Bodenstationen wurden eingerichtet. Mit China plant Teheran offenbar weitere Umsetzungen.
Other areas of close military and intelligence cooperation may come in the form of communication and high-resolution earth observation satellites. Iran is currently looking to acquire both a National Remote Sensing Satellite (NRSS) and a National Communications Satellite (NCS). While it is thought that Iran is intent on building its own NRSS, it is looking to have a foreign manufacturer produce its NCS, and it is understood that at least one Chinese satellite manufacturer is interested in bidding for that project. Even with the NRSS, a burgeoning Sino-Chinese defence and intelligence relationship could result in China providing key expertise and technologies to help Iran build such a satellite.
While technology transfers and expertise is obviously a main feature in any defence and intelligence relationship, other factors can be just as important to Beijing and Tehran, as well as third countries. An intelligence relationship, for example, implies intelligence data exchanges, that might also include the provision of high-resolution satellite imagery from China to Iran. Further, the two countries might also exchange data, methods, and other information on counterspace techniques and procedures and other sensitive issues.
If this were to occur (and assuming it is not already happening), the implications for wider Middle East security could be profound if it is revealed that Tehran not only has access to highly precise PNT data, but also targeting intelligence, provided by China.
Für die Volksrepublik ist der Iran offenbar der Premiumpartner in der Region Vorderasiens. Man teilt keine Technologie und Informationsaustausch mit Jedermann. Weder USA mit GB oder Israel, noch Russland mit dem Iran oder hier China mit dem Iran. Saudi-Arabien ist auch ein Element für Peking, steht aber eher in der rein ökonomischen Sonderstellung. Peking kooperiert nicht in der Form mit jemanden, wenn man keine größeren Ziele hat. Hier sei noch einmal die Seitdenstraße erwähnt.
Such developments should also be viewed as part of a wider change in policy on Middle East issues by China. Since a disproportionate amount of China’s oil needs are sourced from an unstable Middle East, Beijing is slowly moving away from its meticulously neutral stance on Middle Eastern geopolitical events. Several weeks ago, a senior Chinese People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) officer visited Damascus with a view to provide medical support to pro-Assad forces, signaling that Beijing is actually taking sides.

Die Zusammenarbeit zivil, wie militärische geht Hand in Hand.
Iran, China sign 5 MoUs on nano coop.
Following Iran’s Nanotechnology Day in China, five MoUs were signed between the two sides under which Iran will be exporting its nano services and equipment to China.
Amir Ghorbanali, Head of Iran Nanotech China Center (INCC), told Mehr News that seven Iranian companies, active in the field of nanotechnology, participated in Iran’s Nanotechnology Day held in China in order to introduce their latest achievements and advanced products to the East Asian country. The event was held on the sidelines of Chinano2016 International Exhibition on 26-28 October 2016.
The seven participating companies included Fanavaran Nano Meghyas, Behran Filter, Nanosakhtar Mehrasa, Kian Rangin, Ramo Alibert, Sevin Plasma, and Tavana, which are active in the fields of paint and polymer, nanofilter, nanofiber equipment, nano educational services, and nano-coatings. According to Ghorbanali, the Iranian delegation held meetings with 30 Chinese companies during the Nano Day.
