No, the Mideast Iran included are not China's core interests that China has made clear it will go to war to defend them. China defines its core interests as national sovereignty, security, development, territorial integrity, fundamental political system, and social stability, which will never be compromised or traded. The Mideast is in China's strategic interests though, so China not likely to get involved militarily in the region anyway.Although I can understand the aversion to Western hegemony—at least on this platform, many countries share the same sentiment and everyone’s views are aligned—it is undeniable that, apart from China and Russia, no other country poses an actual threat to the U.S. homeland. Japan once attacked a military base in Hawaii, but the U.S. mainland can quickly rearm its forces.
You might ask, why hasn’t China intervened in the Middle East to stop the U.S. from waging war? I think you should consider it from a military perspective. We need logistical support, military bases, defense industry maintenance facilities, and a large number of engineers familiar with Chinese military equipment. Among Middle Eastern countries, apart from our friends in Pakistan, who would provide these? Iraq? Syria? Saudi Arabia? UAE? Or Egypt and Jordan? Are our planes supposed to take off from China and return to China for maintenance? Should our warships and aircraft carriers travel back to South China Sea bases through a time-space portal for resupply?
Every armchair general thinks war is just simple words on a keyboard. Look at how many human and material resources the U.S. had to mobilize for this military operation.
Putting aside all positions, we only discuss tactics, and under these conditions, we are not interested in discussing a war that does not belong to us.
