My understanding is the Euro always need somebody to hate on, be they Jews, Muslims, Romani, Africans or Russians. Some type of character flaw. When things bad (i.e. economic decline), the racism surfaces, blaming everything on others instead of themselves. They have a long history of anti-Jewish sentiment which is probably why they are able to condemn Israel. Anti-Russian sentiment is fairly new. I don't see this issue much in USA (except in redneck society), even though the media here often promotes it.
Iran is very close geographically to Russia; Caspian Sea is jointly handled, with two additional Persian-influenced and Russofied states on it (Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan). Don't need any treaty to move weaponry through here and US monitoring here is difficult. Tehran is almost on the Caspian.
On the east of Iran is Afghanistan, who is ardently anti-US/Israel with hardened fighters and decades of recent guerilla warfare experience. Next is Pakistan with a sizable Shia population that is very pro-Iran. This isn't like landlocked Syria and Iraq; here you have an enemy with it's entire eastern and northern region completely out of your control, major allies next door, a huge pool of fighters to employ.
You'll need to fully invade Iran and occupy it for a few decades to have any meaningful impact. Air strikes here and there aren't gonna cut it. And when oil & gas prices surge through the roof, Western civilization will crumble while Russians selling energy will benefit immensely.
Evangelist nutters castrating themselves chasing the Israeli pipedream.
Promoting this type of content is probably the best idea for China. Appear weak. Let them laugh.

You can take us out of India but you can never take the phull sapport out of us
No wonder why Indians look up to them
There's no reason at all to believe China assert itself like this. They won't even kick out the world's #1 child rapists (white males) from "teaching" ESL and they still hand out scholarships to unqualified candidates throughout the developing world. I take no pleasure in saying this. An assertive China is a laughable fantasy. You should instead hope and pray they don't go full eunuch and import the world's trash for "win win cooperation in the new era of great harmony".
One more thing. Why do you describe China's possible future actions as "gunboat diplomacy" on "hostages"? This is what I mean by East Asians are just insanely bad at soft power. There's no such thing as Chinese "gunboat diplomacy." So far, there is only Chinese Santa Clausing where it gives away hundreds of billions in aid, technology, education, etc. And the recipients aren't even good children. They're often retarded racist pricks. China is doing the thankless job of lifting the developing world into modernity. Yet they somehow manage to make themselves sound like a demon while being a angel. This is the exact opposite of whites who sound like angels while being demons.
East Asians
call foreign trash "expats"
describe imaginary future Chinese actions as "gunboat diplomacy"
call Western subversion / meddling "intervention"
call overthrowing democracies "regime change" or "color revolution"
call their China's allies "attack dogs"
call Western racist genocidal imperial fascist oligarchies "democracies" or a harmless inaccurate term like "hegemony" instead of fascist empire
call Western invasions "misadventures" or "interventions"
call Russia's defensive war an "invasion"
call China an empire / imperium despite not acting like an empire at all.
call Western attacks as "confront China" which implies China is a bully that needs to be "confronted" by the "victims"
call Western economic war as "restrict" China - even the NYT calls out usa's economic war
Some of your (and it's not just you. there are many on this forum) language usage is a product of western brainwashing. When I point this out (with many examples) people will look at me like I'm crazy.
I think this is an egregiously Anglo thing because this persistent need to beat down Asians And affirm white superiority is practically a core part of Anglo American or Australian culture. Jack London is the very essence and epitome of this viewpoint. This viewpoint is also expressed amongst the most servile of Europeans eg Lithuanians. Europeans generally are ambivalent to neutral about China because they have bigger fish to fry eg Russians, Muslim rape gangs, etc
china has now released dual use prohibitions list.
They are not coordinated right? Just coincidence?
Why does anybody need a piece of paper to get into a fight? China stepped in Korea in 1950s without a treaty (the current treaty was made after the war is over). Besides, there is a thing called SCO, although not a full fledged defense treaty, you think Russia and China will let US and Israle beat a SCO member in front of the world without consequencies? I am very amused by the way your brain works.
Why are they only saying this in 2024 when it was already like this ten years ago?
When your mainland China clients are the main source of your revenue, knowing the local language is expected. France and Tokyo expect people to know the local language and people still think they are world cities when the use of English isn't even official there. I heard even Singapore which they jerk off a lot has a unofficial local language requirement for many front office client facing roles. I'm sure some Singaporean here can say if thats true or not.
It's getting really tiring hearing all these expats whine they are redundant. Maybe they should move to India where they speak English more. Oh wait even they have their own local languages.

They are lying. It was already reported that European states want to freeze the conflict in a way that they can publicly say the Russians lost. No concessions to any Russian concerns. They are seeking Minsk 3.0 so they can restart the conflict after rearming Ukraine for another couple decades.
