Iran remained on the front foot, but could not find the go-ahead goal as the referee dosed out a series of yellow cards.
Iran coach Amir Ghalenoei, who had to watch from the stands because of a one-match suspension, acknowledged his team "played badly in the first quarter of the first half, but we concentrated in the second half which gave us the equalizer and the one point."
"For the match tonight, we know that one point is better than losing all three," Ghalenoei said.
"We also realized that China will have a tough final group match against Uzbekistan, while for us, we will have an easier match against Malaysia," he said.
"We need to improve on the fluctuation in performance of our team if we want to be competitive in the next round."
China coach Zhu Guanghu said his team piled pressure in the first half and created many opportunities.
"So it was a pity that when we were two goals ahead, we gave away one point to Iran," Zhu said.
"It would seem that we have problems defending from free kicks because both Iranian goals came from set-pieces," he said.
