China Blocks Iran Sanctions Over Its Nuclear Plans

[7redorbs]

CHINA HAS blocked western efforts to impose a fresh round of UN sanctions on Iran over its nuclear programme, saying diplomatic efforts to stop Tehran building atomic weapons are ongoing.

Envoy Zhang Yesui laid out China’s case as his country took over the presidency of the Security Council and called for “time and patience” in dealings with Iran.

Tehran already has been hit with three rounds of sanctions for refusing to comply with demands that it halt sensitive nuclear activities and US president Barack Obama and other western powers want a fourth raft of sanctions...

Unfortunately it seems China let that British Drug exporter die for political posturing to do this. Yes thats 100% 'conjecture' - but so is chess, and there is still a victor.

China just executed a mentally ill British drug smuggler, the British government's response? They called the Chinese ambassador to the Home Office and told him in no uncertain terms, "We're really cross about that!"
