Maybe for some it looks less surprising, but China being often politically alone when it comes to foreign relationships when it comes to military, politic and ideology instead of manufacturing (because North America & Europe is only interested in that, and to customers in China), they choose surprising allies. And that's what happening with Iran.
They now stepped up on the cooperation between China and Iran's Air Force. For example, two Chinese warship got at Iran's Bandar Abbas port to take part in a joint exercise. China also helped the deal to lift sanctions to Iran.
