Should China respect sanctions on Iran?

Don't know if you guys play Weiqi. For China, Iran, is a good piece of "Jie-cai", something on the fence, could be vital, or could be traded for better long term strategic pieces. So far the west hasn't offered anything worth the trade, that's why we see the waiting game.

The Irans/Ajad have stated publicly that they wish to utterly destroy Israel.... blow them from the pages of history or something like that

For what it's worth the "Greens" in Iran have made it clear in public demonstrations that they feel some animosity towards China for protecting a regime that they don't like. I don't know how widespread that sentiment is but it is there.

many people have said many things, you got to see what they actually did. Actions are driven by domestic politics, usually, and many things are just posturing. You could find similar things said by the west or the communist about each other.

@ engineer
"
Do find an Iranian source which says that."

So a couple a hundred countries press corps got bored with had nothing to report, so they made up the story ?


The Iranian Press and other pro Iranian supporters certainly went to great lengths to put a different spin on it, claiming it was a misinterpretation and figure of speech.... lol.

ROFL... So if Iran doesn't do what you want, you're advocating a military attack? Let me guess, you were a fan of Bush? Maybe you want to go search for WMDs in Iran now?

i swear to god, bladerunner, for all the respect of him being an old-timer, he's so "neo-con/republican" about these things

bladerunner's solution of bombing anyone who defies the west is quite like suggesting turning iran to the new pre-'03 iraq

Its not only me , most people in the West would not be adverse to a military strike on the nuclear installations. As I said earlier, Chinas the fly in the ointment, when it comes to non military means.

I actually wonder if China would be that upset if Iraq's nuclear installations were taken out.
Neither would Russia at a guess. Note how shes holding back on delivering the Sam300's, to make it easier for the West?
------------------------------------

this is why the rest of the world hates the west. defy and we suppress u militarily. such actions are so irrational, barbaric, suppressive, and ignorant. do u think the anti-west idealists woke up one day and decided to go after the west? where do u think the anti-western sentiments in china comes from?
no offense, it's people who thinks "defy and we'll pop yo arse" that gives the west a bad name (to give a hint, it starts with "i" and ends with "-ist/-ism", and also creates a lot of the world's major conflicts today
---------------------------------

I'm a neo con to the last. Bush had the right idea, but wasnt very good in carrying them out.
--------------------------------

so u're saying it's right to go bomb iraq?

@xywdx



No one is denying them the ability of producing radio active material for peaceful purposes.Its Irans Pursuit of producing weapons grade uranium thats the issue. In fact on countless times the West have offered help in setting up and maintaining a civilian nucleur program, which Iran has declined.
I have no idea what the cost of enriched uranium costs, but for Oil rich Iran its a matter of priorities, and they can more than afford the miniscule amount needed to purchase enriched uranium at world prices, by merely stopping the funding of terrorist groups.

of course they'll decline
the iranians dont even trust the west

You're absolutely right. Israel is the only state I can think of that is grateful to the Chinese, and that only for providing a refuge for jews fleeing the holocaust. Certainly, none of the other states that China has helped in the past has demonstrated any kind of gratitude: North Korea and Vietnam, for example.

sometimes, the best gratitude is simply to do nothing, than to make things worst
