West has immigration from rest of the world. What does China have?
Irrelevant. India and China are geopolitical rivals. The only reason Pakistan receives so much military aid is because it represents a bulwark against India aggression. Not even Iran was offered was offered J-10C that Pakistan got.
US has immigration to blunt its demographics to an extent. Look at immigration rates annually for US vs China. That’s with US severely restricting immigration from Middle Eastern countries. If tomorrow US decided to open floodgates many would apply for immigration status.
China is moving forward with AI to try to stem the coming demographics crisis. It cannot rely on immigration like the US can.
Azeribajian had zero support on world stage. Was condemned by even western powers. Nancy Pelosi arrived in Armenia.
Not because they are scared of Russia that is trapped in Ukraine quagmire.

I have used that example many times before to illustrate Western dismissive viewpoints on Iran.
You said it’s a security organization and I repeated if the two powerful members will not defend the articles then it’s worthless. Then you say when did I say China will go to war for Iran. That’s my point. NATO will defend its articles we all know this, but if Russia will be wishy washy and China will be wishy washy then it’s not really a security organization that can be relied on.
China hasn’t done anything vis a vi Taiwan. Taiwan continues to get armed with US weapons. Nancy Pelosi visited and China didn’t do anything besides some kicking and screaming.
If anyone is sharpening their knife it’s the US as more and more Western companies are being forced to move their operations from mainland China to Vietnam and other countries in preparation for the Great Power Game (if it even happens).
Chinese growth has slowed to 3%…the lowest in decades. This isn’t as lopsided a fight you think it is.
Also Iran managing to reverse engineer AL-31 would be huge feat. Even Peed thought that would be very optimistic and settled for RD-33z Saying Iran can reverse AL-41 is unrealistic.
What part of the "whole world is going through the same demographical threats as China" dont you understand?! Apart from the relatively larger population China has over US, those immigrants are also going through the same demographical problems, so this idea of an eternal and abundant stream immigrants to the US is a myth. Plus from what we see these immigrants are usually low skilled workers that add very little value, compared to Chinese workers. Also dont discount Chinese exploits in Africa.
Rivals or not, my point still stands that India is not deciding factor in either Quad or SCO. The fact that Pakistan can keep them in check and India is so readily willing to cede land to China speaks volumes:

Youre repeating this debunked claim that human capital is the future. I agree that AI is the future which China is rivaling US in, and Chinas significant larger population and tradition family-orientated culture is a better catalyst for increasing population. The west is a breeding ground for LGBTQ, anti-population growth liberals, abortion, and incels which is also a massive threat to their population prospects.
Massive contradiction there, one minute you say Armenia has no support on the world stage and then you bring up Pelosi?! Did she go there to vent anger at Armenia? Also we were talking about CTSO efficacy in the recent conflict, not world support, so I'd appreciate you stop changing the goal posts every time I refute you. The fact is Russia, the enforcer of CTSO, stepped in yet again and stopped the war in a peaceful manner which is commendable...if Russia's words didnt carry weight behind them then the hostilies would carry on by the pan-Turks!
So why do you think Azerbaijan stopped and where is your evidence? Surely they would have carried on fighting if Russia was a paper tiger.

What is odd, however, you mocked the name of Iran in light of China, not the west. Like I said, I'll leave this one to Allah!
Regardless, is NATO directly attacking China and Russia, of vice versa? No! Is NATO directly attacking any member of SCO? Nope! Therefore it is premature to say that Russia and China wont defend the member of SCO. You may say "well, why arent Russia and China doing anything about the Kyrgyz-Tajik war hapoening right now?". Looking at it comparatively with NATO, US or any other member state didnt go near the Turkish Cypriot war either, was a war between two member states, instead leaving it UN peace keepers. Fat lot of help that was!
Im 100% sure if any nation hostile to SCO were to attack Iran unprovoked, then they will help Iran in ways that will make the war unwinnable. And that in itself is both a detterant and tantamount to direct support. Of course, SCO being in its infancy and having a slight balanced approach than NATO, there is definite more room for a more decisive united stance in the face of outside aggresion against a member state.
I have to agree that China should have done more when Pelosi arrived! Though I could say why didnt US do more to stop shipments of oil and other things to Venezuela? Its not that easy to just shoot down a plane of an official. But the fact that its ships are surrounding Taiwan and their planes enter the airspace without opposition, China is becoming more hostile to Taiwan and getting more used to the idea of a possible invasion. It takes time to get that knife sharp enough and the appetite of the public ready for such endeavor. Make no mistake, China has the firepower to destroy Taiwan, no matter what US sells them. In fact, these Asians are more cut throat in war than the ethical orthodox christians of Russia, who are being too curteous and kind to the Ukrainians for my liking.
Lots of economies are struggling, not just China. Dont forget there is an economic war that is happening which will explain this. But it is not some great discovery by you when you highlight that the west is sharpening its knife. The west was always the aggressor and born from fighting. The point is China is also sharpening its knife which it hadnt done in the past. Better late than never, I say.
Sorry but who the hell is "Peed"?! Like honestly who the hell told him that that was a good idea for a username?! He could have gone for sharted, shat or farted and it still wouldn't have been more odd than Peed! Regardless, nobody is saying Iran can reverse engineer an AL-41 easily or overnight. However the knowledge Iran can get even from CKD kits and taking apart an AL-41 is immeasurable and can help Iran get ideas for domestic engines. I have faith in our men and women to do such tasks and will only skill them more at reverse engineering. Are we really gonna stick with F-4 engines forever or shall we progress?
They are obsolete for Iran's needs. "Israel" has F-35 and the UAE will soon get it, Saudis will probably get some 5th gen fighter down the line as well.
So what you're saying is having F-4s and modded F-5s is better than having brand new Su-35 in combatting these threats?
