    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.

      US: Bombs the shit out of Iranian nuclear facilities

      Reformists: We should have renewed dialogue with the US

      Unless Iran gets rid of these traitorous reformist snakes, they cannot be viewed as a reliable partner. Imagine selling weapons to Iran only for them to not use it or even worse, destroy them because the current Iranian administration is some shitty government run by reformists who think they can get concessions by sucking up to the West.

      China is wise to keep its distance from Iran.

      6 months ago I would’ve called you a fool, but after they got bombed by the US and still let the IAEA back for inspections is when I realized their leadership is cooked

      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.
