Iran is the 'I" in BRICS. China needs Iran in BRICS

Now there is a propaganda campaign trying to sour relations between China and Iran, claiming that China is throwing Iran under the bus, as a bargaining chip that the USA might likely do the same over Taiwan. But Taiwan is already part of China and cannot be used as a bargaining chip by the USA. China will never agree. Anyway, that has still not been established, as Trump is still looking at the sale of weapons to Taiwan and the need to convince the war-hawks in Washington.

China is not going to betray Iran over Taiwan for sure. The Taiwan issue can fester for another 76 years, and China can sit around and wait. The Chinese are very patient people. After all, China already tolerated the Taiwan issue since 1949 without attempting to attack the island. All that threat from China against Taiwan is just a figment of the imagination of the war-hawks in Washington. In any case, Xi has warned Trump that the Taiwan red line must never be crossed. Few words, but clear and unambiguous. Trump, I think, got the message and has warned Taiwan not to think about independence. What will the next USA President do is beyond us to anticipate. The further sale of weapons to Taiwan is a sticky issue. Let us see what happens next.
