I've Been Thinking:

China is always looking to expand their business deals - especially with Iran.

Despite all the condemnation and all the sanctions, China wants to expand its business trade with Iran. It seems counter intuitive. But it is easily explained.

China has very good trade relations with Iran.
The People's Daily quoted Li Changchun, the Communist Party's chief propaganda official as saying:. "China is willing to continue maintaining high-level contacts and exchanges at all levels with Iran and deepen mutual political trust."

There is little that the West can do about the relationship between Iran and China. Iran exports most of its oil to China. And China will take all the oil it can get from Iran.

Iran sees China as the only truly independent power not in the pocket of the United States. That is why the Iranians go to great lengths to appease the Chinese.

In the future we will read many more statements and see many more deals between these two countries cum allies.
