China's support for that statement would have been cleared with Tehran long ago.

The Chinese are neither oath-breakers nor back-stabbers and, besides, they just signed a hugely profitable, $500 billion development deal–which won't cost Iran a penny our of pocket and will greatly improve the quality of life there.

The joint statement is a masterpiece of diplomatic needle-threading. Notice that, though Iran is mentioned in association with nukes and terrorists, Iran can read that as an offer by the signatories to help with those very problems.

Since most of those problems are caused by the US and Israel, our media invented a perverse interpretation of the statement, as it does with all setbacks, which are coming thicker and faster every day.
