I've Been Thinking:

China has spoken.
China has finally spoken out about Iran's nukes.

On Thursday, after a particularly flamboyant and hyperbolic speech by Ahmadinejad about how Iran now has 3000 uranium centrifuges in their Natanz nuclear facility and how Iran's nuclear program is irreversible, China responded.

Why now?
What makes this speech different from so many other grandstanding opportunities seized by the Iranian leader?
3000, that's the reason.
3000 is seen as the point of no return by Israel-and China knows that.
Iran is moving dangerously close to provoking Israel to strike - and Ahmadinejad knows that, too.

China announced that together with Europe and the UN they will work to "defuse" the situation.
It is important to note that the United States is glaringly missing from that group.

China imports $100 billion of energy from Iran every year.
China can never be replaced as a client for Iran.
China will be the key to any solution with Iran.
