Rep. Randy Fine, R-FL, expressed concerns over China’s growing influence on Iran, especially now given the ongoing conflict there, which started early this year.
On Capitol Hill, Fine spoke to Gateway Pundit reporter Alicia Powe and me about U.S.-China relations amid the war in Iran.
“You’re not gonna resolve everything with China. That’s an ongoing relationship,” Fine told us.
“The issues to me that I’m most concerned about are sort of trade, technology theft, and obviously their influence over Iran and bringing that conflict in ferment.”
“You’re never gonna resolve everything with China. That’s an ongoing relationship.”

China and Iran have a close economic relationship with one another. Given the ongoing conflict against Iran and China’s desire to overtake the U.S. as the most powerful nation, Fine’s concerns are worst listening to.
China could also be behind Iran’s efforts to acquire a nuclear weapon, which many Republicans argue is the reason why we are currently at war with Iran to stop this from happening.
President Trump has met with Chinese President Xi twice this year in an effort to strengthen relations, as Trump traveled to Beijing back and May and Xi came to the White House in September.
The meeting at the White House seemingly went well, with President Trump even rating it a 12/10 when he was asked about it.
Supports of President Xi and the Chinese Communist Party show their solidarity and support for both.

President Xi and the CCP might be banking on the Iran conflict weakening the U.S., which would give them a major boost in the race for global economic hegemony.
China’s foreign influence on Iran is something that cannot be ignored, especially given the war’s escalation and a tech arms race that China is waging against the U.S.
The country that wins the AI arms race will ultimately become the most powerful country and Fine gave a strict warning on China potentially stealing U.S. technology to get ahead.
