| #6 Perhaps it is exactly because of those investments, trade deals and arms sales that China wants to talk Iran into backing away from the brink. The Iraq thing hasn't worked out too well for the Oil for Food recipients. |

| #3 Somehow, I don't think this is representative of the Chinese perception of this issue. With large investments in Iran, China has stymied our attempts to contain the situation diplomatically and even encouraged Iran through trade deals and arms sales. |
