President Masoud Pezeshkian has voiced Iran’s readiness for “serious and constructive” cooperation with China, particularly within the framework of Beijing’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), ahead of his planned visit to China later this month.
they probably will improve peoples lives in iran the same way they are doing in africa and the such, cheap loans with gracious terms, supplying solar energy etc
do not forget that the simple fact that China provides cheap and quality commodities is already a way of improving the people lives. really the only reason the countryside people in my country has access to stuff like mobile phones is because China makes them very accessible.
Mobile phones and telecoms from China has done lot to increase the income of the most impoverished people of the world. I remember a study from last year or two on this exact phenomenon, showing a clear correlation between introduction of Chinese telecoms to rural areas in the global south and real wage increase.
even just replacement parts for other stuff made in china is already an improvement to people’s lives. Things that i used to buy for hundreds of USD i can now get from chinese manufacturers for fractions of the cost, leaving me with more money on the wallet to use on other stuff. Heck the other day i had to replace an alternator for a tractor, i got a chinese one for $150, and it works better than the Made in Europe expensive crap that came with the tractor lol.
It would be good for it to be more than that but more energy and materials can support and offset domestic militaryproduction as well. Compare to the alternative, where Iran is more isolated and has less money.
Ya it’s definitely better than nothing. Think news has been so depressing lately I’ve just been used to being pessimistic. I’m trying to have more revolutionary optimism lately but it’s hard. Organizing helps, but it’s offset by the news lol.

Hope it’s more than that or it’ll just all get blown up by the next inevitable attack from US and Israel. They need anti-air capacity.

It is hard to be aware of the state of the world and not at least sometimes be depressed or infuriated.
