Why U.S Military Actions is Aimed at weekenig China's Global Dominance.

[Olotu20]

Looking at the global events playing out in recent times, especially the military actions and confrontations that has been going on which to me is gradually becoming a norm under President Donald Trump who took over power for the second time as president of the United States of America. Since coming to power Trump has always used the phrase America first, making America great again.  And so has used different means in making sure that America becomes great again, and has implemented different means and ways best known to him as making America great again. One of which is the the trade tariffs which Trump implemented,  and of recent we are beginning to see military approach  coming from the president of the United States of America. I have reflected and had a dip thinking in all these actions that, has been taken by the government of the United States of America. I have come to the conclusion that all the actions of the president of the United States has been a deliberate and well calculated attempts to weaken China's global dominance. As China is now a direct threat to the United States of America virtual in all aspects. I have come to the conclusion that  the U.S. attack on Tehran is partly even though not the main reason,aimed at weakening China and it rising global control. This is because it comes from how deeply connected Iran and China are economically, strategically, and even in terms of military cooperation.

Some Reasons why am Reasoning this way.

 Iran is a key energy supplier to China
China is the largest buyer of Iranian oil.Iran exports a huge portion of its oil to China over 80% in recent years,China relies heavily on cheap, discounted Iranian oil to fuel its economy. So the United States of America attacking Iran a key ally of the United States is an attempt to weaken china.If the U.S. weakens Iran ,China loses a major energy source . Energy becomes more expensive and less reliable.Some Analyst argue that ,this creates an energy squeeze on China’s economy . Energy equals power which is a function of economy and military.Modern economies and militaries run on energy, China needs oil to power it's factories, navy, air force, and global military expansion. If Iranian oil supply is disrupted China may face slower economic growth,Military logistics become more expensive and constrained ,So weakening Iran indirectly limits China’s global rise.

 Iran is part of China’s global strategy
Iran is not just an oil supplier it’s a strategic partner.China and Iran signed a $400 billion long term cooperation deal, Iran is part of China Belt and Road Initiative. If Iran becomes unstable or weakened then China loses a key foothold in the Middle East and China  global trade network becomes less secure.

Disrupting China’s alliances
The U.S. sees growing alignment between,China,Iran,Russia and North Korea these countries cooperate in terms of energy, military tech and deplomacy, so a strike on Iran can expose the limits of China’s ability to protect it  allies, this will in turn again weaken the trust in China as a global partner.

 Control over global oil routes
The Strait of Hormuz is critical because, about 20% of global oil passes through it most of that oil goes to Asia including China.If conflict affects this region, then
China is hit harder than the U.S.Oil prices rise hurting China’s economy  the more.

Note this is my personal opinion and may not be accepted by all, as I look at this military operation from a multidimensional approach.

Us has made it clear that it is not region war against China or seeing them as enemy together with Russia, that they can take oil supply from them, they are not attacking Iran because of all this, but I know that when things like this are happening, people will continue to give contrary opinion to what is the actual situation on ground, this is a possibility that China is the most affected from now because of the oil supply, but was it the intention of US to deal with them in such manner?.

[Fortify]

Maybe this is one of the "positive" aspects that Trump can spin out of the situation, as we see places like Venezuela were big suppliers of oil to China as well and have been recently targeted. However in supposedly targeting China there is the massive risk that America becomes more of a liability to their Middle Eastern allies than it is worth. At the moment besides their bases and expensive equipment getting decimated, along with endless interceptors being expended, America has not really suffered that much compared to their allies in the region - some of who rely on tourism that is going to be decimated for a while. Iran is still letting Chinese ships through so they are marginally less affected but the overall push upwards in oil price means all oil remaining around the world becomes more expensive when 20% stops. Let's face it though, there never was a plan at the beginning besides distracting from the Epstein files which was in the news for months on end and constantly tied back to Trump, it did manage to break that cycle for now.

Some of these views look good to me. First Trump attacked Venezuela which is a major oil supplier to China. It is estimated that China buys about 400,000 barrels of crude daily from Venezuela in 2025. Another report has it that China also buys about 1.38 million barrels per day from Iran. The US might be attacking these Chinese allies to cut down the economic influence of China. Some analysts have said that these attacks on Chinese allies are to showcase the US global influence and China’s limitations in protecting its allies.

But China has diversified its sources of oil over the years. The country still has cordial relationships with Middle East countries like Saudi Arabia and Qatar which could serve as a replacement for Iranian oil. Or it could simply double its purchase of Russian oil. The last discovery of Shale Oil in Shenqing and Chintang fields could also boast local production.

In terms of protecting allies, China sees the US as an important trading partner. China would be willing to sacrifice Iran, Venezuela, and even Cuba to maintain its trade relationship with China. This might be the reason why China doesn't offer security guarantees to allies. Beijing is more focused on having control in the Indo-Pacific. The war in the Middle East is a distraction to the US as Chinese influence increases in the Indo-Pacific.

It may not be a direct war with China but US will always do something against the interest of China. There is a secrete rivalry between them that nobody is telling us. China have been the major buyer of Iranian oil so if the Strait of Hormuz is close for them, it will affect them as much as it will affect the rest of the world. China is doing great for themselves and have remained the only country that is aspiring to get close to US in terms of technology, economy and others.

Well, it's obvious. China is the main opponent of the United States. It is also obvious that whoever controls the oil controls everything. Therefore, Venezuela was followed by an attempt to capture Iran. All sorts of tales about Iranian nuclear weapons (by the way, the hype about enriched uranium has already died down) are just variations of the "Iraqi test tube" with chemical weapons, which in fact did not exist. It's the same here.

I completely agree with you because from what I can see the united state is just trying to use a bad name to call the dog, in a view to killing the dog all the allegations of nuclear weapons is just a well calculated and planed attempt to bomb Iran.

China opposes the U.S.; oil drives power...


Venezuela, then attempted Iran takeover.

Trade war 2.0, and then attacking Venezuela, another major oil supplier and ally of China. And the next target now is Iran, a member of BRICS, a major oil supplier and an active participant in China's dedollarization movement. I even believe that if Russia werent a military power, they might be the next target of the US 

It would be naive to easily believe what the US says, that they are not doing those thing to counter China. The current goal of the US is to maintain the strength of the petrodollar system and weaken China's expansion, nothing more

[Spaceman1000$]

You have a point in your assertion but don't forget that there are other key players of the oil marketing industry that China also have affiliation with, take Russia for instance if am not mistaking, China still also buy oil from my own country Nigeria, and there are lots of countries China have been buying oil and they have a good reservation on that. however in weakening China's influence, America would have to do more than that because for some of us that are in Africa, the market for technology is basically owned by the Chinese, this is not only in Africa there are lots and lots of other continent that China holds sway in terms of technological advancement and how their product are doing very well in most countries of the world, so if America wants to weaken China's strength or influence they will have to do a little bit more probably have a direct one on one confrontation.

I get what you're saying but this situation isn't just one straight plan like that, you see the truth is that so many people see the nuclear talk as an excuse, while others feel like there might be a truth out of it that causes a very big concern so it's just mixed of suspicion and real tension all together.

For me the way I see it all this big countries they always act base on their own interests like Putting their own interests first and if you observe very well you will notice that they use strong way to justify what they doing or want to do, either the truth is clear or not they don't mind. And at the end, it's the ordinary people that suffers it so it better for someone to the to just consider the situation with an open mind because global politics isn't that simple as it sounds

Even if US says one thing, they can still hide other things and lie. They might have other agenda for doing this. What they have done to Iran has affected everyone of us in the world. US has done immense damage to the world. If they did not foresee this happening they might be ignorant.

I might be wrong, but I have never seen any US president who is as deceptive as Trump. Today he says one thing, he denies it in a few day even when it was well documented. Weakening China would cost the US so much. And it seems Xi Jinping understands the global political economy is more than Donald Trump's. China has been able to build partnerships with countries in almost all the continents of the world, making it difficult for the US to cut its oil and gas supplies.

My country is indebted to China to the extent that we could lose our sovereignty if we default on some loans. I am sure other African countries are in the same shoes as my country.

Trump made it clear that they are attacking Iran because of its nuclear buildup, and it poses a threat to the region. Now, the China issue is different. I read that Iran wants oil buyers to use the Yuan before they can pass through the Strait of Hormuz.
China and Iran may have a good alliance, but it's not the main reason why the US wants to take down China; it can buy oil from other sources. I don't think this attack will weaken China's dominance; they still have the resources to continue becoming a global power.
