The systems China is comfortable selling to countries like Egypt or some Gulf Country in the future are systems they have domestic evolutions or replacements of, different and superior to a significant enough degree. Inferior to stuff the US has probably as well. As such they most likely judge whatever info america can obdain as non vital to their security and not some advantage for the americans. You cant avoid selling stuff to countries who do close buisness with the US MIC either way, that isnt a deal breaker even for Russia's relatively modern system exports.

First as a tragedy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Varkiza Then as a Farce

Funny how the J-16D is leading the formation of 5G platforms and should be comfortably the most expensive plane in these photos. Shouldnt the j-15D be the growler equivalent tho? Being carrier based and all. Does the US operate a lamd based EW fighter platform like the j-16D?

Also it would be interesting to know the fleet numbers for these platforms. I think i have seen smth around 70 airframes but i dont remember where or if that was for the 16D and 15D variants all together

Its more likely a US led effort giving more concession, basicaly this sounds like extra chip concessions, and has to do with the fact that China has barely loosened Rare Earth export controls and prermits after the "deal". And thats much more urgent for the US than ethane or whatever not flowing so it only makes sense that the US is whinning again and maybe offering more

RE are a huge card and china will be milking it until the US actualy does an actual concession of impact. Which it probably wont do and keep to it. So this will be staying

Of all the ghouls China might welcome in some dumbass event someone Kissinger related is pretty inoffensive considering Chinese attitudes towards Kissinger for historical reasons.

Iran needs to do some purges cause i doupt China wants to give them modern systems for them to get blown up by a Mossad agent firing rpgs from neighbouring parking lot. It also needs to drop any tech transfer requirements for deals and actualy fastrack an actual intergration with China economicaly and into their "sphere". Last thing china needs is to make an effort to arm iran and them some dumbass reformist wing gaining prominence in 5-10 years looking to turn west

werent even a lot of irgc and government people using non chinese phones and apps for communication. Like what the fuck are we doing

I have read from some PLA watchers that last time after the UN arms embargo ended and wasnt renewed deals with China werent made for a couple of reason. Yeah China being cautious about gulf states, israel and america freaking out was a reason (it was what 2019/2020?) but equaly important is that Iran, beyond being very unenthusiastic and flip floppy about joining sides and falling into chinas sphere of influence and also being difficult with the payment system or other possible geopolitical stuff they could offer China, they really wanted to attach Tech Transfer and co-production stuff to the deals. Also they didnt want to give air defense and air force built up a priority resources wise compared to the money and focus purring to missile program, nuclear program and proxis founding. Plus this was pre Ukraine war and they drifted towards Russian systems and deals.

Idk what China is open to giving them but assuming Iran acts with the desperation, commitment and urgency its position requires and ditch some of their delusions and offer and fasttrack some stuff in non military apsects im sure they can get some stuff.

Most unemployed man alive

The biggest load that we've seen, from the standpoint of cum.

No country pours military equipment into another country without the prospect of strong influence and alliance and without having a strategic reason to. Not even the ussr did in most cases. China didnt sell NK military shit because NK didnt want to. NK didnt want to because they have nukes and are extremely warry of increased chinese influence and have been since the mao years. They have a standing mutual defense pact with China already since the korean war. They have nukes. They get military shit from russia because Russia needed the cooperation and approached them. Also while yes China followed a lot of the sanctions for NK they dont that much in the last couple of years. And Iran had enough of a window where there were no weapons related sanctions against them for china to follow and not sell them previous generation shit. And it is proven that in aspects that really matter and that iran really needs like missilie components or oil sales China doesnt give much of a shit for iranian sanctions now

They wont sell their most modern systems but they have a bajillion good enough systems which at scale would make a difference. No matter iran should get its head out of its ass , do a Zelensky and beg and ask for anything and everything, giving up whatever is needed . They will get something
