According to the data:
Data published by China: China-Iran bilateral trade in goods is about 15 billion dollars/year. (Fluctuates slightly from year to year)
Data published by Russia: Iran-Russia bilateral trade in goods is about $4 billion/year.
Chinese exports to Iran:
Electromechanical products: accounting for nearly 40% of total exports, including mechanical appliances, electrical equipment, vehicles and spare parts.
Other major commodities: optical instruments, organic chemicals, iron and steel products, plastic products and etc.
Iranian exports to China:
Highly concentrated: plastics and their products (first place), fossil fuels and crude oil, organic chemicals, iron and steel, mineral ores, and etc.
Special Notes:
Iranian crude oil exports to China are not fully accounted for in China's official statistics.
1. Iranian oil imported by Chinese refineries through unofficial channels is not reflected in customs data, and actual imports are high.
2, A large amount of Iranian oil enters China through third-party re-export trade. These data are reflected in China's trade data with third parties.
The unilateral sanctions imposed by the United States on Iran have indeed had some impact on China-Iran bilateral trade. But it is mainly reflected in trade settlements, and it has less impact on actual China-Iran bilateral trade.
As for the military trade between China-Iran, the influence of the United States is completely negligible. It only depends on the willingness of the Chinese-Iranian parties to cooperate and international conventions (including, of course, the resolutions adopted by the UN Security Council). As long as Iran dares to place an order, China dares to sell it to Iran.
Huawei Incident. The real core reason is that Huawei's development is a serious threat to the leadership of American companies in the field of communications technology. The U.S. government used the Iranian issue as a pretext to intervene using illegal political means. The incident itself is not connected with China-Iran trade. Even if China-Iran bilateral trade were completely suspended, and even if Huawei were to completely terminate its operations in Iran, the U.S. government would inevitably take the same measures against Huawei.
