Iran's Seyyeds seek closer ties with China, support for nuclear programme

Iran seeks closer ties with China, support for nuclear programme:

"Tehran expects China, as well as all its friendly countries, to express support for the country's nuclear programme and its close cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency, Hosseini said."

This guy is basically begging the Chinese not to switch sides. Now it is up to the US and EU to sort out China and to a lesser extent Russia. Chinese should be brought to the UN security council for its ambivalence towards any regime's human rights. It is not just in Iran, it is in Sudan, Zimbabwe, Venezuela; which are all the trouble spots. Fact is that Wal-Mart is big in China and no one asks Wal-Mart "what are you doing there, using cheap labour, and energy that is actually from Iran. Maybe the Saudis could threaten to cut off the energy supplies, to get the Chinese away from the Seyyeds.
