China to invest $400 billion in Iran, station 5000 troops

.
A smart lion moves on. Iran is like a wounded lion, why not swallow the pride and leads a herd to another grass land? It’s not worth to fight until the bitter end.


What a nonsense!
Genetics, north and southern Viets share the same root, same identity

Until Vietnam’s decisive victory over Champa, any interaction was forbidden by the chinese central court. How could both people nations be mixed? In the case of Cambodia, the country was Vietnam’s colony. Forget intermarriage.

But ok you are right in one point. South Viet are more distant to China in contrast to Northerner. However that change in mentality goes back to the time of the Ming, not just since the arrival of the French.

We are off topic.
Most lions fights to the death than leave it's pride.

Ok fighting to the death. It’s the question if it’s worth of. Sometimes the lion should withdraw when situation becomes indefensible. It always has the chance to return. Look, Vietnam suffered terrible humiliating defeat under the hands of the French. But we knew sooner or later we would return to the second battle. In fact, the French army suffered a more humiliating defeat, surrendering at the decisive battle of dien bien phu of 1954. most of captured soldiers marching to prison camps won’t return to France alive.

Huge investment but we must look at it closely.after this huge investment deal,I am worried about cpec and Pakistani interests in this region.
CPEC and Pakistani interests will not be compromised but most likely will be improved. A wealthier, more economically stable and positive Iran is good for Pakistan. Iran doesnt want Pakistani economy going down but going up.

When you push the Chinese too much then they will take steps to counter you. Essentially this is a middle finger given to America. This wouldn't have occurred if Donald Trump stuck to the international system which the United States created in the first place.
Its also simply about business- China has done the financial estimates and KNOWS there are BILLIONS to be made in Iran, thanks to sanctions. If China doesnt get in now, US or another country might make the move. China is too attracted to large, easily profitable markets. Its almost like free business opportunity.

no foreign troops on Iran soil that the constitution law apart from that it's possible that they can reach that deal.
.
but Iran already allowed Russian air force do strikes in Syria from Hamedan base, so why would Iran "waive" this constitutional requirement for a LIFE saving investment from China?? I believe this troop requirement. Afterall ,China did the same thing with CPEC. The money is just too much, no time for saving your dignity or blah blah blah...

as a refueling stage and not a base and it was that the key word that convinced parliament to let Russia do that for some time and not full on base.

For a $400bn investment that can save Iran economically, when it is under the HEAVIEST sanctions in its existence, TRUST ME, Iranian govt will waive that crap so fast. I'm also suspecting that constitutional provision about foreign troops was based on the history of Iran's military being incompetent due to high presence of and dependence on foreign forces. I dont believe that applies much today. Iran needs technology and materials from foreign govts, not military officers. As long as those Chinese troops/ armed guards wont be compromising Iran's sovereignty via spying, etc, I dont see why Iran would have a practical reason to reject them from deploying in Iran. money isnt free.
