Australia and the UK are among the largest overseas markets for Chinese cars, and a big portion of those customers are boomers.
They love Chinese cars. If people in the "Five Eyes" —who actually hate China politically—can get over their bias, why are Iranian boomers still hold onto such deep-seated racism? Aren't Iran and China supposed to be in the same camp?

Russia is sanctioned heavily, and on paper, Chinese companies have export controls there too. Yet, the Russians figure out how to get Chinese products. Even North Korea and Russia can manage parallel imports or smuggling in this global system—why is Iran incapable of doing the same? Aren't affordable, high-quality Chinese goods exactly what Iran’s sanction-crippled economy needs? Instead of figuring out import channels themselves, Iran expects Chinese companies to risk sanctions and hurt their own interests to enter? Where does this entitlement come from?

Hoping to sell them to US allies instead??? Source? Or you mean Pakistan?

Here's what I say to these people: nobody made you buy Chinese products.
If the Iranians are so inept, perhaps that land, the real estate would be better off in the hands of more capable nations like Pakistan and Iraq.

Iran is Meta territory. This isn't even a joke. Everyone uses Instagram and WhatsApp. Its not even banned officially.

I wasn't overgeneralizing when I said that Iranians have mass fear, distrust, and loathing of China. It would be even lower than a third if the question didn't group China with Russia.

Reminds me how the U.S. was trying to turn Afghanistan into the model nation before they were booted out; they were so capitalistic minded and such products of Harvard schools of corporate management and consultandid that they were applying business admin to governance. There was even an office for a “CEO of Afghanistan“ and how every Afghan needed to download Facebook in order to access the internet as they could only surf the internet via Facebook browsers.
