China warns against aggravating Iran crisis

BEIJING (Reuters) - China warned all parties against action that could aggravate the international crisis over Iran's nuclear ambitions on Thursday, a day before the United Nations' atomic watchdog reports on Tehran's activities.

"A diplomatic solution is the correct choice and is in the interests of all parties," Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang told a regular news briefing. "China urges all parties to avoid measures that could worsen the situation."

On Friday, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) chief Mohamed ElBaradei will report to the agency's board and U.N. Security Council on whether Iran has stopped enriching uranium, a process that can create fuel for nuclear weapons.

Iran says it will not stop enrichment, which it says is purely for civilian purposes and not part of what the United States says is a clandestine effort to make atomic bombs.

Washington, backed by Britain and France, has been pushing for sanctions if -- as it expects -- the IAEA reports that Iran has flouted U.N. demands.

But Russia and China, the U.N. Security Council's other two veto-holding permanent members, oppose any embargo.

On Tuesday, China rejected a U.S. proposal to order Iran to suspend enrichment under legally binding U.N. provisions. And it wants the IAEA board to consider ElBaradei's report before the Security Council addresses the issue.

They seem to be well on their way to becoming an economic and military superpower. I believe that they also fund a lot of US debt, as well as being the beneficiary of a trade deficit with the US. By grouping together with russia and iran, they poke the US in the eye with a stick. They also steal a lot of military and industrial information, and use that to strengthen their own economy and military.

Do you see a pattern here? They intend to become as strong if not stronger than the US.

China is very, very worrisome at the moment for the US.

Yes, it seems that our trade deficit with them is 62 Billion last I checked....That's whack. Personally, I avoid all the Chinese goods that I can. I don't like the idea of "diluting" our economy with theirs. What I meant was what is China's plan for dealing with Iran, since ours is a bad idea (sanctions) in China's opinion.

Those J-10s' are nothing compared to Iran's stealth flying nuke boat. :D

China plans to start exporting cars to the US. I wonder what that's gonna mean for the Big 3 that are already struggling in this "awesome" economy.

When is the last time you checked?

Current US trade deficit with China in 2005 was $202 Billion. It increased 40 billion in 2004 alone which counted for almost all the non-oil trade deficit increase the US incurred in 2004. In early 80s trade with China was non-existent.

China holds the second largest US treasury portfolio (second to Japan.)

While we are sitting here pissing at Iraq and Iran, China is slowly taking over as the world's largest economy.

According to the State Department's own documents the trade deficit with China has already cost our economy over 1.5 million jobs since 1989.

While they are teaching Spanish in our schools they should be teaching Chinese. I know I'm taking courses to learn the language and customs (we are already find expanding use of our software and data for Chinese based operations.)

That makes me sick....physically sick...and I don't see an emoticon for physically sick!

China has been building their military and economy for years now. If I'm not mistaken, they're military (people wise) is lots bigger than ours. But what the fuck do you expect from a country that houses almost half of the world's population?
