Thanks. I just saw the clips of his arrival today. I'm really hoping China is willing to stick their out on this one for a defense agreement of some kind. The rhetoric coming out of Shitrael's political cabal right now is increasingly belligerent; they're basically announcing more attacks and sabotage in the near future. Just saw the Israeli Finance Minister declared Iranian banks as terrorist organizations. They're getting right back on the escalation ladder. Iran needs to be prepared. Russia and China can't just sit back and make softly worded statements about diplomacy if they don't want to end up isolated and under siege by the 4th Reich.

I hope so too. This is an excellent opportunity for China to test out some of their domestically made anti-air defences in a real combat scenario.
