President Masoud Pezeshkian has voiced Iran’s readiness for “serious and constructive” cooperation with China, particularly within the framework of Beijing’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), ahead of his planned visit to China later this month.

      Why should China dive into helping Iran when the last time they were about to have really good relations the Iranian government threw it all away for the slightest concession from America? Iran is not run by principled socialists, they’re a bunch of libs and theocrats who happen to be on the right side of history re: isntreal, China and Iran are right to improve relations now, but they’re also right to be cautious and doing it in a measured way. Fool me twice, you can’t get fooled again, as mission-accomplished would say.

        because me, a western leftist, expect others to do the work that is mine. Chinese people should throw their lives to stop my country from erasing other countries, not me that lives in the aggressor country and benefits from it.

            trade =/= support. The USSR also mantained trade with nazi germany at some point, if you think that makes them allies you’re just disingenuous. Still doesn’t change the fact that it is the US, likely your country, the one primarily enabling Israel and you do nothing about it.

              Thanks for proving my point that it was bad for the USSR to do that. When China does something that isn’t just talk let me know. Also for a country of over 1 billion it’s hilarious to see not a single discernible action made by any individual made for Palestine.

      With regards to Iran, probably because we just went through an almost two week war of sorts, where Iran got almost zero support from it’s foreign partners, including China. The USA was shooting down ballistic missiles and drones that were attacking Israel using US air defence systems and fighter jets, and then intervened in the conflict offensively with capabilities that only the USA has. Not to mention all the aircraft, and a sizable amount of munitions used by Israel were US made. What did China or Russia do for Iran by comparison? Did they try shoot down incoming Israeli munitions? Did they operate their own air defence systems in Iran? Did they supply Iran with any offensive weapons/munitions? Where were the Su-35s, J-10s and S-400s or HQ-9s that every pro Iran social media grifter was talking about?

        Did Iran ask for any of this?
