A misleading quote

[Arya Yadeghaar (Backup) @AryJeayBackup]

Iran’s head negotiator & Parliament Speakef, Ghalibaf, says they must take over the frontlines from the launcher operators & relieve the people from economic pressure.

He says that in the economic field too, we must stand firm like the launcher fighters, and he speaks about the necessity of cooperation with China.

The most remote areas in China are a hundred times more developed than the capital of India. This is why Indians, in their desperation, search for Chinese historical pictures and videos to attack China.

⚡️BREAKING

One of the most influential Iranian figure Ghalibaf proposes forming a Bloc with China:

"We need Blocs and in a sense, they already exist

Whatever Bloc is formed, two countries will undoubtedly be part of it; there is no doubt about that: China and Iran

I am firmly committed to this path in all its aspects: technology, the economy, and politics"

When the world's highest bridge was built, it directly led many nearby villagers to convert their old houses into homestays and farm restaurants to profit from the surge in tourism.

This is how mega infrastructures in China make people rich in a unique way.
