The thing about this post is that the same thing happen to China semiconductor industry. That ingrained idea in the Chinese industry of that "renting is better than building", "foreign is better than domestic" is what stifled China semiconductor and IT industry for almost two decades and leaving it vulnerable to crippling export controls and sanctions.
Iran only started making their own air defense systems like a decade ago. And much of it seems based on Chinese technology.
The systems don't look bad on paper. Where they may lack is in networking capability and numbers.

But Iran is a large mountainous country. So expecting ground based SAMs to provide perfect coverage is too much. You run into all sorts of line of sight issues.

They need airborne radar and modern interceptor aircraft to plug gaps in coverage.

The F-35 is not invulnerable and has its weakness, the Rafael was suppose to be closer to the F-35 than the J-10 and still Pakistan excellent use of the air defenses allow them to get the upper hand. The issue is that having something and using it well is much better than having nothing. If wasn't for the Iranian missile force Iran wouldn't have any deterrence against Israel. which by the way Iranian missiles are made using Chinese tech, for example the fiber optic IMU or the Carbon Fiber.
Also beidou gps right?

From what I’ve researched transit oriented development models (TOD),
—like what Japan is especially notable for doing: having their metro operators be real estate leasors/operating shopping centers, malls, plazas, and even housing near or on train stations— is still quite a rare thing in China.

Also notable that most HSR stations are far from city centers in China, a different philosophy from what we see in other models.
There are older hsr that r close to city center tho newer ones r one current city edges that they plan to develop for future.

I think only China and Pakistan have access to the military version.
Russia could have too. There is a Sino-Russo cooperation agreement on GNSS (Beidou and Glonas) which may includes ground stations in each other's territory, inter-operability (being backup to each other, therefor sharing frequency against EW warfare). Sharing military grade signal isn't more sensitive than what are listed above. China grants Pakistan because of India, China would grant Russia because of US and its allies and more importantly as a backup system.

A CN vs India story from bloomberg? Expect anti CN narrative framing, focus. Like they focus on a "failed project" in Mauritius, but failed to show Bangladesh/pak/srilanka projects..Will lndia get provoked or goaded? To think India and CN just had meeting of their officials in Beijing recently.
How China is Beating India in Its Own Backyard
India and China are locked in a high-stakes struggle for influence in the Indian Ocean. Control over tiny islands could choke global trade and reshape regional power.
