Unlike you whose brain is so small that it has fallen into the left side vs right side trap that world governments use to enslave their domestic population, some people on this board actually know IRGC very well. They are corrupt and they care about making money at all costs. The upper command and middle command know they will be retired long before there is a war on Iranian soil thus all they care about is enriching themselves.
Iran is no different than Western Capitalist countries, in fact, it’s corruption is systemic and infected its core.
Iran cannot function without IRGC, good luck rolling back an entity that controls up to 40% of the iranian economy. This is a mafia that makes the Russian Oligarch mafia look Amateur.
China is a communist dictatorship that doesn’t believe in concept of God. What kind of strategic relationship can a INDEPENDENT Islamic Republic have with such an entity?
China imports oil out of necessity, could it not import Iranian oil? Possibly, but what business sense would that make when it has refiners that are tailored for Iranian oil? Let’s not speak of low quality toxic Chinese products that have caused damage around the world including Iran.
I remember reading an article that quoted a member of iran’s Nuclear negotiating team and it was something along the lines of him saying that Western powers stab you in the back and they come to expect this, but China stabs you directly from the front. The negotiating team had less faith in China then western powers!
Sad fact is China is merely taking advantage of Iran. It is too stubborn to expand relationships with anyone including Russia. But don’t worry the US military is pivoting to Asia and then China will have to deal with a heavy US military presence that Iran had to deal with for decades.
