That's good, but hopefully it keeps strong barriers up between them and reliance on China. Currently China is investing heavily into expanding military power to Africa which will inevitably lead to regional instability as they establish authoritarian puppet states and promote conflicts in neighboring nations to weaken European trade networks, just like they've done with Iran.

True enough. If China hadn't developed such an MO for propping up dictatorships then I'd just assume they propped up the IRGC because only a desperate and brutal faction would be willing to trust them after both the USSR and USA burned Iran in the past.
