Pakistan still keeps the regional wanna-be rival/superpower in check. Argentina soon won't have a central bank.Good point but Argentina like Pakistan doesn't have competent system in place to run their economy without constant aid they're used to handouts and may become a liability to BRICS, Iran make more sense for all their faults they still have a decent industry and resources not to mention their strategic position there will be Western objection but no point in addressing it their concern with China today is rooted in fear of losing white privilege it's an emotional argument and you can't do anything to satisfy it you'll be vilified anyway might as well choose the option that's best for your interests.
