China’s foreign policy has undergone a real change since world war ii. since the economic recovery, beijing has adopted a coherent and clear strategy for all regions, including the eurasian macro-region. the research question is “what model can be used to analyze china’s foreign policy strategy in eurasia and what is iran’s position in this strategy?’’ in response, china’s foreign policy strategy in eurasia can be analyzed from the western point of view according to the hobbesian realist model, from the russian point of view according to locke’s competitive opportunity-threat model, and finally from the chinese point of view according to the kantian model of cooperation. the results also show that iran is increasingly important in china’s foreign policy strategy in eurasia, but chinese pragmatism under the influence of international sanctions has made turkey and pakistan the main priorities in the country’s strategy in eurasia. the purpose of this research is to examine the patterns of analysis of china’s foreign policy strategy in eurasia with an emphasis on iran’s position. the method of this research is case adaptation to the theory.
