Well China & Russia have big oil deals with Iran and have invested a lot of money in the country, Iran trades oil in lots of different currencies which undermines the petrodollar.
So if American invaded, regime changed they'd secure Iran's oil and then force the trade of Iranian oil in dollars again which would strengthen the dollar further. I just don't see Russian & China sitting back and letting that happen though, there is too much at stake, especially for China.

Ordinary people won't get a choice when WWIII inevitably happens, every country will be forced to choose a side.

China has been doing a fuck load in Africa over the past decade, massive infrastructure projects, massive trade deals for resources etc. Some pretty damn impressive stuff actually!
China has committed $75bn (£48bn) on aid and development projects in Africa in the past decade
