Rouhani bet on US and EU. China did NOT get much share in post JCPOA.
Rouhani was betrayed by US and EU, on the other hand, China take the risk and seize the cooperation opportunities of Iran.
Hopefully it will work, as China's offer has really pissed off quite a lot of countries in West Asia(ME), and the West, especially Israel and US. China will have to pay a heavy price, quite a lot of political capital to keep our promise in this 400 billions deal.
If Iran next president take offer from west again and kick China out, China will be embarrassed and lose a lot.
China has hardly been reliable in energy deals in the past. I’m skeptical of this so called “deal”.
I don’t think China is that much more trust worthy than US. China and Iran relationship is marriage of convienece.
Also the terms are not as favorable to Iran today versus 10 years ago as China has found other partners in the region.
