@keng666201@IranArabic_ir@iraninarabic_ir We Chinese people fear war
But once war breaks out
it will awaken the genes that have been sleeping within us
driving us into a kind of frenzy
All Chinese people—regardless of gender or age
will enter the military-industrial production chain
working day and night to produce bombs
Iran and China spent millennia as neighboring great empires and never attacked each other.
The so-called "free world" is free from ethics, free from shame, and free to bomb without accountability. Its new masters are vulgar plutocrats masquerading as visionaries; men of no talent, no shame, elevated by aggression alone.
Fortunately, Iran and China stand outside this hollowness.
⚡️JUST IN: Chinese Foreign Ministry says cooperation with Iran will deepen
"China and Iran are comprehensive strategic partners and will continue to advance their comprehensive strategic partnership ($400 billion)"

The most important war in modern Asian history wasn’t Vietnam or the Pacific War. It was the Korean War.
When the guns fell silent in 1953, Asia’s future was rewritten.
In the years before the conflict, East Asia lay in chaos. Japan was still recovering from defeat in 1945, China had just emerged from a brutal civil war in 1949, and Korea remained a divided nation. Most Western observers expected communism to keep sweeping across the continent.
Then, on June 25, 1950, North Korea crossed the artificial 38th Parallel.
What followed was one of the Cold War’s deadliest conflicts. More than three million people died as the United States led a UN coalition, China sent hundreds of thousands of troops, and Soviet pilots flew secret combat missions. For the first time, the Communist bloc and the Western alliance clashed directly on the battlefield.
The war ended not in victory for either side, but in a grim strategic stalemate.
Yet that stalemate changed everything.
The Korean War convinced Washington that Asia had become the central front of the Cold War. American military spending surged, and U.S. troops took up permanent positions in South Korea, Japan, and across the Pacific.
Japan emerged as one of the biggest winners. Flooded with U.S. procurement orders worth billions in today’s dollars, Japanese factories roared back to life. These contracts helped ignite the country’s postwar economic miracle, lifting it from devastation in 1945 to the world’s second-largest economy by 1968.
South Korea’s transformation was even more dramatic. In the 1950s it was poorer than many African and Latin American nations. Today it ranks among the world’s leading technological powers, home to Samsung, Hyundai, LG, and a thriving high-income democracy. Its survival reshaped the entire economic future of Northeast Asia.
The war also transformed China. Mao Zedong’s bold decision to intervene--just one year after founding the People’s Republic--established Beijing as a major military power. By fighting the United States to a standstill, China gained both international respect and a lasting pillar of its national identity and strategic doctrine.
North Korea drew a darker lesson. The war’s destruction and heavy reliance on foreign allies deepened its siege mentality, feeding an obsession with self-reliance that eventually led to its nuclear program.
Even today’s most dangerous flashpoints trace their roots to those three years: the U.S.–South Korea alliance, America’s military presence in Japan, China’s concerns over U.S. forces near its borders, North Korea’s nuclear arsenal, and the fragile balance of power in the Western Pacific.
All are direct legacies of decisions made between 1950 and 1953.
Technically, the Korean War never ended. Only an armistice was signed on July 27, 1953, no peace treaty followed. Seventy-three years later, the last active front line of the Cold War still cuts through the Korean Peninsula.
If North Korea had conquered the South in 1950, would Asia today be dominated by Beijing and Pyongyang or would an entirely different power have risen to shape the region?

The most dangerous weapon China has built wasn't a battleship, aircraft carrier, or nuclear missile, it was a strategy engineered to make the U.S. Navy doubt it could safely operate in the Western Pacific.
For over 150 years, great powers projected strength the same way: by commanding the seas. The British Empire ruled global trade through maritime dominance. The United States inherited that mantle after 1945, with carrier strike groups acting as sovereign territory capable of delivering overwhelming power anywhere on the planet.
China studied this history and recognized it could never win a symmetrical ship-for-ship arms race against the U.S. So it chose a radically different path.
After the swift U.S. victory in the 1991 Gulf War and the humiliating 1996 Taiwan Strait Crisis -- when two American carrier battle groups operated near Taiwan with impunity -- Beijing vowed it would never again be so powerless.
Rather than simply copying the U.S. model, China poured resources into Anti-Access/Area Denial (A2/AD): a layered system of long-range precision missiles, quiet submarines, advanced air defenses, satellite networks, cyber/electronic warfare, and radar coverage spanning the First Island Chain.
The most visible symbols are the DF-21D “carrier killer” and the DF-26, capable of striking ships more than 4,000 km away. For the first time since World War II, American carrier groups faced an adversary that had deliberately built a system to hunt them.
Today, that strategy has delivered results: China now operates the world’s largest navy by number of hulls. Its fleet of smaller, missile-laden corvettes, frigates, and destroyers gives it massive local superiority in its home waters -- exactly where A2/AD makes those numbers most lethal.
This is why the islands matter. The South China Sea is far more than reefs and rocks -- roughly one-third of global maritime trade flows through these waters. Control the chokepoints, and you control leverage over the world’s supply chains and military movements. China’s artificial island bases, missile sites, and growing fleet are all part of one integrated strategy.
At its heart, this isn’t only about Taiwan, it is the latest round in history’s oldest great-power contest: sea powers versus continental powers. Athens vs. Sparta. Britain vs. Imperial Germany. America vs. the Soviet Union. Today, it’s America’s maritime order confronting China’s push to shove that order away from its shores.
Washington’s real fear is that A2/AD -- backed by sheer numbers in the near seas -- undermines the foundation of U.S. power: the ability to project force anywhere, anytime. China doesn’t need to defeat the U.S. Navy in a global blue-water war. It only needs to make intervention in its backyard uncertain.
And in geopolitics, uncertainty can be decisive.
If a Taiwan crisis erupted tomorrow, would the United States still risk sending carrier groups into waters saturated with Chinese missiles... and defended by the world’s largest fleet?
Foreigners living in China have invented a slang phrase.
“There are two jokes in the world. America: We are a developed country.
China: We are a developing country.”
China was big winner of war w Iran, I tell Al Jazeera
Aside from us wasting money & killing people, US can't protect its allies. We moved THAAD from Korea to Middle East
China showed itself as stable power. It gained in clean tech 5 will play key role in Iran's reconstruction
I'm tired of US politicians like @SenRickScott lying every day about China. The world is turning to China right now because it is a more geopolitically stable option over the United States. This is not an opinion, it is the simple truth.
Trump has made the largest US foreign policy decision of the 21st Century and has failed to deliver a single promise he made to the American people. Senator Scott is too much of a coward to admit this truth and instead hides behind useless tweets like this that do absolutely NOTHING to China and worse does NOTHING to the American people.
I run a YouTube channel with over 1 million subscribers Senator Scott and I personally invite you to discuss the truth about China with me in a 1:1 debate.
There is a reason why China is the number one trading partner to over 120+ countries, why America's closest allies like Canada and the UK are going to Beijing to sign trade deals. Why even President Trump brought 17 high level American CEOs to Beijing last month. China will have a dominant role in the future of our world and the Global South is better today because of China.
Prove me wrong, welcome you anytime to sit down for a personal chat and discuss China. I'm born and raised in Florida and tired of my elected officials in my home state wasting taxpayer dollars spreading absolute propaganda. I'll wait you on YouTube to debate
