BeiDou Navigation System: Free for Iran & North Korea, But Pushed Chinese Truck Driver to Death
Hello, everyone, welcome to “Inconvenient Truths”. I am your host Jennifer Zeng.
A while ago, right before the U.S. and Iran were going to hold indirect talks on April 6, the CCP and Iran signed a 25-year Comprehensive Strategic Cooperation Agreement. According to the agreement, China will provide its BeiDou Navigation Satellite System to Iran to enhance Iran’s combat capabilities. Today I’d like to discuss a little bit of the agreement, and what this BeiDou Navigation Satellite System, or Beidou system, means for the US and the world.
The China-Iran Comprehensive Strategic Cooperation Agreement includes three main aspects:
- The CCP will invest $400 billion in Iran for energy and infrastructure construction.
- Oil and trade transactions between China and Iran will be settled in Renminbi; and
- Iran will install the CCP’s Beidou system for its missiles.
