China to host Iran Nuclear talks
The five major voting members of the UN Security Council will meet in Shanghai to discuss the future of Iran's nuclear proliferation. Iran just recently announced they will instill 6,000 more uranium centrifuges. The talks come after Iran stated that they will eliminate Israel if Iran is attacked by the Jewish state. Israel just practiced a war game that simulated a nuclear weapon.
China has a history of supporting Iran's actions with the council. Iran is China's largest supplier of oil, and the two nations have a long history of weapons agreements. However, China is on the hot seat to prove itself in the eyes of the international community. China gets its oil from Iran, but has a lot of arms agreements with Israel.
Will China side with the UN Security Council, or will China side with Iran to protect oil interests? China has many reasons to play each side of the issue. It will be interesting to see whether holding the talks in friendly China will make any difference for Iran.
