BEIJING, Sept.16 (Xinhua) -- China urged relevant parties to solve Iran's
nuclear problem via dialogue and negotiation Tuesday.

China hopes Iran will continue cooperation with IAEA to solve the problem
soon, said Jiang. She emphasized that China believes dialogue and
negotiation are the only ways to come to a solution.

China also made clear that it didn't believe imposing more sanctions on Iran
would do anything to improve the current situation.

It's notable that China is speaking out on the issue and stating itself as
against US proposals. The days of the US believing it can set the rules, do
whatever it wants, needs no permission slip, and being free of consequence
are over. Unilateral US 'coalition of the willing' actions are no longer
going to be as easy to enact as they may have been. It's a much more
complicated world since America usurped its own power.

China is also interested in ME oil, and has just signed a deal with Iraq.
They are unlikely to allow the US to walk in and take Iran's oil under the
pretext that Iran is a nuclear threat.
