China begins to turn against Iran ????
Iran went into further global isolation on Thursday as China, its usual ally, warned Tehran against it acquiring nuclear weapons. After a visit to the Gulf in which he met the leaders of the states most threatened by Iran's aggressive foreign policy, Wen Jiabao, the Chinese premier, issued Beijing's clearest condemnation yet .
"China adamantly opposes Iran developing and possessing nuclear weapons," he said.
China looks as if it has sent a message to Iran that it could not rely on Beijing's unstinting support by lowering the amounts of imports of oil at a time when the US and Europe are promoting an embargo on the country.
The Washington Post reported that China cut-down on its oil imports from Iran in January from a daily average of around 550,000 barrels to 285,000 barrels a day.
Chinese foreign policy experts said the statement demonstrated that Beijing would not allow its international position to end up beholden to Iran.
