This isn’t exactly a big of a deal as you think. Sure of course China will sell older stuff to Iran and Russia because corruption and money, but they don’t actually like each other. They also don’t have 2 giant oceans to protect themselves, so they have to be careful.
China and the US have fundamentally the same goals of free trade and making sure nobody else gets nuclear weapons, there are just disagreements over spheres of influence and governance.
Russia and Iran are criminal syndicates with an enslaved population, they don’t give a fuck about the ramifications of what they do because their geopolitical strategy is just enriching oligarchs, not enriching the population. China knows the population only puts up with their shenanigans because their quality of life is getting better, so that has to keep happening and that means working with the west.
That’s why China’s “no limits” relationship with Russia ended when Russia wanted Chinese weapons in Ukraine. China just wants to shake things up, not create a new world order like the other “anti-west” countries.
