What is behind China and Iran's 'strategic' deal? | Inside Story

It's been in the works since 2016, and dubbed a 'comprehensive strategic partnership'.
The deal signed between China and Iran is expected to boost their long-standing economic and political alliance.
The cooperation will cover a wide range of Chinese investments in Iran's most important sectors, including energy and infrastructure.
It's the first long-term agreement of its type to be signed by Iran with a major world power.
And comes at a tough time for Iran's economy that's been devastated by U.S. sanctions.
What do both countries stand to gain?
And should people be worried, in the Middle East and beyond?
Presenter: Dareen Abughaida

@逍遥客 China will rule the world, not communism. The communist ideology is outdated in China and has been replaced with Socialism with Chinese characteristic and based on Meritocracy. The world will get rid of Western hegemony which is rooted from centuries of colonialism but branded now as the "free' world and ostensibly centered on democracy, freedom of speech and human rights. Unfortunately these "values" have been weaponized by the US and Western goons to manage and monitored any countries to comply with these "values" in order to serve their Western economic and political interests in perpetuity as failure to do so by these countries will rendered them be sanctioned, regime changed and probably assassinations.

[@user-kt6um5ws3j]

​@逍遥客为什么美国没有直接选举？而是间接的？​

[@bldomain]

@逍遥客 1. One man one vote is outdated. Take my country for example, we had an election to vote for the party we wanted but about one year down the road the politicians defected from one party to another and eventually created a government by bypassing an election This is is a mockery to democracy. 2. Another down side of democracy is the short term that a party gets to govern which is 5 years in our country. Every policy is not long term and only half baked policy to serve the party's next election. In the end, the ruling party created a problem for the next party to fix and thereby every election has more problem added to fix. 3. Before the above political drama of frog (politicians) jumping from one party to another, Gerry Mandering was a problem where the incumbent ruling party delineated their voting constituent to their advantage. Thus opposition party will be in a disadvantage and the incumbent government becomes powerful and corrupt. 4. The present autocratic government of China has served the Chinese well, Abject Poverty is eliminated, China's economy, technology and military is second to the US and China is now a modern, clean and efficient country. Can't imagine what China will be if they have subscribed to our democracy. I think they will end up like India.
