China is asshoe for sure. From Legal Insurrection:

China, Iran Close to Signing $400 Billion Trade and Military Pact
The Islamic Republic of Iran and Communist China are close to signing a $400 billion strategic deal. Both regimes are working on a 25-year “Cooperation Roadmap” Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif confirmed on Tuesday.

Under the agreement, China will invest hundreds of billions of dollars in the oil-rich nation, giving it control over the country’s natural resources and access to Iranian military and air bases, recent news reports say. China will initially station 5000 “security personnel” to “protect” its investment, the Indian business daily Financial Express revealed on Monday.

Europe-based Radio Farda reported on the ongoing negotiations, citing official Iranian news agencies:

The Islamic Republic and China are holding talks on finalizing their 25-year “Cooperation Roadmap” Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif insisted on Tuesday, July 14.

Meanwhile, Zarif claimed that Beijing initially submitted a “draft” of the agreement in March 2020, based on an earlier copy presented by Iran. (…)

In the meantime, Tabnak, a website close to the Islamic Republic Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has published an eighteen-page text of the draft, which has no details and contains general statements of optimal cooperation between the two countries.

The two sides are negotiating on having the two drafts finalized, Zarif asserted, noting that the document should then be ratified by the responsible bodies of the two countries.

The pact opens up the country to economic exploration by Communist China, Iranian dissidents warn.

“The regime dominating our country is seeking to sign a despicable 25-year agreement with China to plunder Iran’s natural resources and accepting a foreign army in our homeland, ” Iran’s exiled crown prince Reza Pahlavi said earlier this month.

The pact with China has strong backing from Iran’s ruling Islamic establishment, including that of the regime’s military wing and the U.S. designated terrorist group, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). This is “a pact between the lion and the dragon,” the IRGC-affiliated newspaper Javan  declared.

The current regime - the islamist tyrants and sponsors of global terror - see the writing on the wall. They are getting huge personal payments from China in exchange for prostituting the nation of Iran for the next generation. At the end of 25 years, the Chinese will own them 100%. Yet another reason to divest from China - China is not our friend.
