If you think there will be a profound change in American policy towards China, you are very very wrong.
First, Biden is not a profound person. He will not make bold moves, IMO.
Second, there is broad Democrat Party support for supporting our allies in the region -- Japan, Taiwan, SK, Philippines, and India.
Third, our cooperation with Vietnam has grown, and will continue to grow.
Fourth, US has supported India selling Brahmos missiles and other arms to the Indo-Pacific nations.
Fifth, Progressive Democrats, much more than the "practical" Republicans are disturbed by China's policies in Hong Kong, genocide of the Uyghurs, threats to Taiwan, and the crazy claims of sovereignty over the South China Sea.
China's policies have changed the US/China dispute from trade (where many Democrats may have opposed the trade war),
to human rights, freedoms, and international law.
So, China should not expect any help from the Biden administration.
In fact, I expect Biden to be just as hard, maybe harder, on China.

CGTN is a voice of the CCP.
However, on this, I have to agree. Cooperation between two states, one pariah, and the other fast becoming a pariah, makes sense, should be expected, and is not a real danger to others.
It does raise some questions, though...
1. India & Iran relations were developing, with India to ship items to Iran for transport to Central Asia. Enabling India to bypass Pakistan.
Does this mean that ends?? Or, has it already ended??
2. Is China transferring its goals with Pakistan to Iran?? Is China dumping Pakistan??
3. Is China going to build road/rail links with Iran across Afghanistan? Or, through Pakistan? For this to work, efficient road/rail connection between Iran & China is needed. Who is going to build this??
Basically, a public show if intent is nothing more than wishes, until the infrastructure is built.
This bit of news is about as important as a fly on an elephant's ass.
