I really doubt the Iranians are going to allow so many foreign troops on their soil.

I can't read your source but it is highly dubious going by the claims your making. Over time for variety of reasons Iranians have become a paranoid society that suspects everything. The last thing you can expect is them agreeing to Chinese soldiers on their soil. Trade yes. Sodiers no. So relax.

And as regards Iran being a police state. It already is. Chinese CCTV's are not going to make any differance.

Kovid-19 has completely finished the Iranian economy. In June, Iran asked for a $ 5 billion loan from the IMF. Iran's request for a loan from the IMF means that the country almost gives its key to the United States.
Either they will kneel against the USA. Or there will be a civil war inside because of the economic crisis. As a third option, all that remains is to give the title deed of the country to China.

Getting into debt is no problem for Iran. They have at max $10 billion in debt and have thus a very clean GDP figure. Turkey in comparison has debt in the 100's of billions.

Foreign troops? maybe not, China's surveillance tech? absolutely likely

Oh yeah, definitely

You make it binary. Yes, there is pressure on Iran because of the sanctions on steriods brought about by Trump. But that does not mean Iran has to give the key, the front and arse. There is lot space on the continuum before you get there. I know Iranian psyche. Fundamentally they are biased toward Europe and west. Even after all the beating they will always look to west. If they are forced to they will cut a deal with China but just trust me it will not involve Chinese soldiers. When you get another source that confirms what you posted give me a shout. I spent my university years just when Ayatolahs took over and British universties were flooded with Iranian students.

Agreed. And not "maybe" but absolutely NO.

 

[Gary]

Agreed. And not "maybe" but absolutely NO.

Iran is in a turmoil right now, it faces stiff opposition from mainly the youth, it's economy is in crumble as a result of sanctions, costly foreign wars in Yemen,Syria,Iraq and Lebanon. So yeah absolutely looking at how the IRI crusehes dissent at home. Chinese surveillance tech suddenly looks sexy.

 

[Kaptaan]

Chinese surveillance tech suddenly looks sexy.

Yep. This seems more plausible. Chinese experiance in managing their people is something Iran ruling theocrats could do with.

One thing guys. When the revolution happened in Iran and Shah fell lot of my mates were Iranian students from Iran. They drank, they went clubbing, had English girlfriends, pretended to be all rich but I was surprised how they seemed to be pro the revolution. It kind of was absurd. They were secular, worldly. But their political outlook was firmly anti Shah.

Looking back the revolution was a disaster for Iran, disaster for Turkey and even bigger disaster for Pakistan. I did not know that it's effects would resonate decades later. Iran had and has some of largest oil/gas reserves on earth that would give Saudia a run. If Shah had remained in power Iran by now would have matured into a prosperous, developed country which would have had huge geo-political and economic ramifications. It would have not castrated the rise of Gulfies but at least abated them.

For Turkey Iran would have been a huge market right next door. Ditto for Pakistan. @Yankeestani has as his DP the image of -

This region would have had huge economic traffic and potential for trade would no limits. But alas the cursed Mullas came and ......

This is basically what the US has done in a bunch of countries. At least 14 of them, plus intel bases in many others.
