#1 China will veto any UNSC resolution so the UN thing is dead in the water except the talktalktalk. China gets much of its oil from Iran and is getting a strong position in Iranian oil infrastructure. A few nukes going against Israel, the EU or the US is no skin off the Chicom's fore. Really.

#2 Well, that settles things doesn't it. If the big red machine doesn't want the UNSC to be involved, os be it. Pay no attention to the big commerical and oil deals China has established with Iran. Surely, those interests had no bearing, right?

#3 China Doesnât Want U.N. in Nuke Dispute...

Yeah, the incompetent and corrupt El-Baradei might accidently blow himself up, take thousands with him, and make large stretches of land uninhabitable for 50,000 years.

#4 Remember that China is also one of the major proliferators of nuclear weapons and weapons technology. While Pakistan and Khan have had direct connections to Iran's nuclear weapons program and have recently made it back into the news cycle China is probably Iran's main supplier of nuclear technology (http://www.ceip.org/programs/npp/iran.htm). China is also probably the worst proliferators and was behind much of Pakistan nuclear program as well as much of the ballistic missile technology that is being used by Pakistan, North Korea, as well as Iran. While the Khan network has been a massive mess and problem looking carefully at his network you can see that not only was Pakistan directly involved in that network so was Chine. Some have even stated that China would like a nuclear enabled Iran with strong ties to China which would further isolate India and make China the clear regional power.
