Abbas Abdi: When we celebrate a contract with China, this is what happens.
Abbas Abdi: The most important element of power for any country, including Iran, is the support of its people for their government. For this reason, the priority is not the JCPOA and foreign policy, but rather domestic policy, which must be strengthened.
Although the Chinese have significant differences in their internal matters compared to Western countries, they also understand well that public support is a very important and necessary advantage for the stability of any government, even if it is not sufficient by itself.
We should not place the eggs of people’s lives in the basket of any foreign relationship; we must establish balanced relationships.
If our foreign policy is based on national interests, we will have the most relations with China, followed by the European Union, and then neighboring countries. The United States and Russia will come later. But when we conduct foreign policy in a way that seeks to enter global blocs and celebrate joining Shanghai or a 25-year contract with China, the result will be what we are witnessing.
