The red-green axis has been consistently undermining Western democracies for years. Recently, Iran and China signed a 25-year strategic deal which virtually neutralizes American pressure on Iran to curtail its efforts toward a nuclear bomb. The deal heightens Iran’s ambitions for regional hegemony and beyond.
Lifting sanctions on Iran will speed up Iran’s efforts toward a nuclear bomb. Iran has openly admitted to breaching the Obama nuke deal, and Netanyahu provided extensive evidence that the Iran deal was based on lies. The new strategic alliance between Iran and China represents a serious threat to the West, particularly at a time where America is bereft of leadership. The Biden Administration is a global laughingstock, which has offered Iran and China a clear path to expanding their influence.
“Chinese envoy urges parties to Iran nuke deal to immediately start negotiating sanction-lifting formula,” Xinhua, April 17, 2021:
VIENNA, April 17, 2021 (Xinhua via COMTEX) — A Chinese envoy on Saturday urged all parties to the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, or the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), to immediately start negotiating the specific formula of sanction-lifting.
Wang Qun, Chinese envoy to the United Nations and other international organizations in Vienna, made the appeal here after attending a new round of meeting of the JCPOA Joint Commission.
“China has drawn much encouragement that the Joint Commission has, over the two days, come back to its normal track with productive and constructive work,” he said.
“China maintains that all U.S. sanctions should be lifted immediately,” be it sanctions against Iran, or its long-arm jurisdiction measures on third-party entities and individuals, including those on the Chinese, he noted.
China believes that the Joint Commission should continue to focus on the “more substantive work” of sanction-lifting through the two major processes — the nuclear implementation and sanctions-lifting working groups’ work, and the “proximity talks” with the United States, said the envoy.
According to him, China will continue to work with all parties concerned to push the U.S. and Iran to resume negotiations on the implementation of the JCPOA for early and tangible results……

Iran uses proxies to attack Israel and other ‘enemies’ abroad, Iran is planning to use Russian naval protection to escort its illegal, embargo-busting deliveries of oil to Syria; and now Iran is asking China to twist arms at the talks in Vienna to get sanctions lifted. Don’t the Ayatollahs ever do anything for themselves?
What a bunch of cowardly, whining clowns!

Only true idiots equate China with help. Perhaps when China asks Iran to supply them with some Uyghurs because they are starting to run out will Iran get smart.

Mecca seems to be shifting to Beijing. Soon moslems will go China for “haj” and Mo will be replaced with Mao.
Infidel says
Hard to tell which one is worse. Although I think Xi could replace Mao, since he’s done a lot more to make China the world’s #2 superpower, something that Mao never could. Also, Mao would really envy Xi’s surveillance state

Imagine if Israel was doing to Muslims what China is doing to it’s Muslims. Separating families and imprisoning them in reeducation camps. Perhaps slave labor or even organ harvesting. They would lose every ally and be BDSed out of existence. Instead we have more of the World becoming indebted to China’s corrupt billionaire communists. The folly of men.

Most Muslims don’t really care.

And biden must believe the saying, “keep your friends close and your enemies closer.” Because he is doing so much for both of these nations run by demon-controlled, possessed despots.
the world is about to implode as the evil increases…right before our very eyes…and the Bible warns of this. It also tells us what steps to take to keep living.

Lifting sanctions now makes it more likely to the Chinese that they will be paid at least for some of the non-oil bartered $400 million infrastructure initiative.
Infidel says
Hey, Beijing, go ahead and lift sanctions, so that the rest of the world, the ones that have the guts to hold you accountable for the Chinavirus, can impose sanctions on you as well! Actually, I do think Iran is a lot less deserving of sanctions than China is, and it would be great if the rest of the world, or at least those who’re not under Beijing’s thumb, would have the guts to pull China off the world’s financial markets, and force every company that has manufacturing operations in China – from Apple to Nike – to pull its operations out of there. To date, only Australia, India and Japan have been serious about this

You are right, Infidel:

Graven, imo, they should strengthen it by adding Vietnam to it, which matches China on skill and experience and beats them on price competitiveness

Sounds good.

…………….
Unfree nations ganging up on the civilized world.
All of us should tell them to take a hike–but I’m sure Biden will be all too happy to comply.
David M says
China should be kicked off every world committee due to its human rights abuses, including the United Nations. They probably will be when they invade Taiwan within three years. I’m guessing Biden will do nothing when they invade Taiwan too.

China throws muslims in China into Gulags and then makes deals with muslims in Iran so they can have their very own Nukes…
I really feel as if I have now moved into an alternative universe,where Up is Down, and In is Out, as it seems as if the Planet has shifted slightly off its Axis when we werent looking.
OLD GUY says
What a surprise coming from talking out of both sides of your mouth China. Anything that will harm America and our allies China is supporting and on the attack. With President TRUMP out of office they know they can walk all over Biden or buy him and his administration.
