BEIJING –China warned the United States on Thursday not to meddle in its trade relations with Iran after Washington expressed concern about a Chinese oil company’s planned investment in an Iranian gas field.
“We think this kind of cooperation and relationship is legitimate. Normal cooperation should not be interfered (with),” said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao.
Asked if that meant Beijing believed the United States was interfering in its dealings with Iran, Liu said, “This is our position.”
The U.S. government expressed concern to Beijing last month about a planned investment by state-owned Chinese oil company CNOOC Ltd. in Iran’s Northern Pars gas field. Washington said major business dealings with Tehran were inappropriate while Iran is defying U.N. resolutions on its nuclear program.
CNOOC spokesman Liu Junshan said Thursday the company was still in talks with the Iranian side to develop the gas field and to help build liquefied natural gas facilities. He said no agreement had yet been signed, and declined to estimate the project’s value.
The Iranian Mehr news agency reported last month that the deal was worth $16 billion.
Liu’s comments came as Israel’s Prime Minister Ehud Olmert visited Beijing. Olmert is seeking a more proactive Chinese role in pressuring Iran to abandon its nuclear program.
Iran’s president has called for Israel to be wiped off the face of the earth, and Iran is widely believed to be trying to manufacture atomic bombs — a charge it denies.
In talks with Olmert Wednesday, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao said Beijing was firmly against nuclear weapons proliferation in Iran and wanted to see a diplomatic solution to the issue, Liu said at a press briefing.
But it is unlikely that Beijing will to bend to U.S. pressure to drop the gas deal, considering China’s growing thirst for oil and gas to fuel its economic boom.
China imported 980 million barrels of oil last year, making it the world’s third-biggest consumer of foreign oil. Its demand for natural gas is expected to rise 26 percent over the next five years.
China’s two major oil companies — China Petrochemical Corp. and China National Petroleum Corp. — are both either involved in gas projects in Iran or in talks to participate in developing gas resources.
Iran has seen the lure of its energy resources and other markets as a way to weaken the willl of U.N. Security Council members to exact harsh punishment over its nuclear program, which Tehran claims is for generating electricity.
The council, of which China is one of five permanent members, voted last month to impose sanctions on Iran for refusing to abandon uranium enrichment — a process that produces the material for either nuclear reactors or bombs.
Things are growing in these days, only 4 days have passed and visitors continue to grow!!
Tomorrow (for me in Italy) i will participate at an interview on CBS Radio San Francisco 106.9 FM to talk about my observations on Saddam’s execution video!
I’m pretty excited because it’s my first interview in english on a radio, the first one on a radio i had 4 years ago when i won a MINI Cooper with an advertising communication competition.
if you have a translator (you can use Google language tools also) or if do you understand italian language you can find the article here on Yahoo Cars magazine.
Hope you can listen my interview (on the radio’s website there’s also a live-streaming service) so you can comment and talkback here on my blog.
This is my re-newed advice, ask yourself WHY this fiction has taken place in Iraq.
Maybe Paris Hilton will sing her new song with Saddam on MTV?
Maybe Saddam is trying to meet a woman on internet.
I don’t really know what’s happening in the world today.
JFK death’s will be a secret for other 10 years, why?
9/11 the most famous steel structure in the world has burned and fallen down in just few minutes like if the steel structure was replaced by a wood structure.
Today the death of a man has been trasformed in a mistery, in order to win a war.
In these 4 amazing days i’ve given truth to 60.000 people.
I don’t know why not many of them have appreciated my point of view of this fake-execution, but everyday i check all over the web for details about everything that going on around Saddam.
One last news i can give you (but probably you could already imagine why is it happened) the maker of the movie of the “complete” execution, (the third one i’ve insered in the blod) has been arrested.
Have you thinked on this strage thing?
One man has filmed on his mobile phone, or this is supposed to be…
Obviously even this guy has not recorded clearly the execution, even if he was in a perfect position to do it!!!
This guy should be awarded for “the worst cameramen in the world” for the 2006!!
It’s like a cameramen during the final match of the soccer worldcup when one player is going make his goal, suddenly the cameramen start to point his camera to the grass of the ground.
I believe that this guy will be fired instantly for a job like this.
Even a child could have recorded well that execution, if this execution was really happened!!
So the question is, why they told us that this guy was arrested??
The answer it’s simple and it contains one marketing secret, that is at the base of all Illusionism tricks.
If you tell people that a credible and visible event “B” is happened because has happened one thing “A”.
Everybody will believe that if they have seen B happening they will realize that also A has happened.
We can say that David Copperfield has made his fortune with this human mind trick.
If the government controlled press offices are saying that this poor cameramen (that hasn’t made what it is suppose to have done) has been arrested because was recording the execution ( i repeat: THIS GUY HAS FILMED NOTHING!!! YOU CAN’T CLEARLY SEE ANYTHING!!!) we will believe that if this arrest is really happened probably also the execution is real.
But thing to this film, if in this clip you can’t be aware that saddam was executed, how is it possible that this man has been arrested??
It’s like pictures of naked girls, you can show to children naked girls with hot point covered by black circle, but you are not allowed to see those porno pics if you doesn’t make this censorship.
So if this man has recorded execution covered by shadows, why they arrested him??
If you are recording one of the hottest istant of the year, how you can so damn stupid not to film it?? HOW?????
All the news networks of the world showing the antecedent moments to the hanging of Saddam Hussein.
Journalists, Politicians, Everybody comment the death of Saddam Hussein.
But WHO HAS SEEN ENTIRELY THE HANGING OF SADDAM HUSSEIN?
WebSites like YouTUBE, Google Video should have on their homepages the video of this execution. But WHY is it completely impossible to find any scene bout this event?
Recently I’ve seen the film “Wag the Dog” with Robert DeNiro. In this film, two weeks before election day, a scandal erupts that threatens to cripple the President’s bid for a second term. But before the incident can cause irreparable damage, a mysterious fixer is called to the White House. The ultimate spin doctor, Conrad Brean (Robert DeNiro) has the uncanny ability to manipulate politics, the press and most importantly, the American people.
Anticipating the reaction of a frenzied press corps, Brean deftly deflects attention from the President by creating a bigger and better story - a war. With the help of a famed Hollywood producer and his irreverent entourage, Brean assembles an unlikely crisis team who orchestrate a global conflict unlike any ever seen on CNN.
The underline insight of this film was, IT’S NOT IMPORTANT THAT A THING REALLY HAPPENED TO MAKE PEOPLE THAT SOMETHING HAS REALLY HAPPENED.
A little movie, some special effects and you can make people believe that even the Aliens are coming to attack the earth!
Now I ask you for a second time, have you seen with your OWN eyes the exact moment when Saddam died?
Who is completely sure and aware that Saddam Hussein is really passed away??
This is another video that i’ve just discovered online, even this doesn’t clearely show that Saddam it has been killed.
There are only some bad taken shots, nothing clear… like if i’d like to show only something of what’s really happening.
Are those short clips of the very first previous moments and the ones showing Saddam who lays down in a truck sufficient INDEED to understand that all that they want us to believe
I have tried to see, on YouTUBE, Google Video the entire hanging of Saddam.
At least after 10 hours (an eternity for Internet) SOMETHING about this scene should appear… I’m not saying an HD movie, just a 500k clip… but guess what? You CAN’T FIND ANYTHING!!!!!
Another incredibly strange thing it’s the completely absence of videos about Saddam inherent to the last 24 hours… WHY???
If you think that the Saddam’s Death is ONLY one of the most important historical moment of the last 50 years, following only the 9/11 tragedy and you can’t find any documents or clip that certifies the death of this man, we can start to be scared.
All we can see at this moment about this hanging are the instants preceding and those that comes later.
DOH!! We can’t see ONLY the very important things!!
We can see the masked executors, Saddam with a serene uncovered face, the loop that comes down from the ceiling, but then before the execution starts, the clip ends mysteriously.
Which is the reason of this strange “cut” of the movie??
It’s like an illusion trick, the magician cover the box with a pillow and then “BLING” the rabbit disappears!
I believe that an extremely critical capital execution like this is it can’t be obscured with saying: “sorry, but not to injury the public feelings we prefer not to show the crucial moments”
The only thing that can be seen of the Saddam’s death is the short clip that shows the corp in a white bag, and it lasts only few seconds.
WHY nobody has SEEN, FILM or DOCUMENTED this historical moment? We are in the age of the REAL-TIME informations, why there aren’t any news about this?
Everybody speak about the Saddam’s Death but WHO has the proves of that Saddam it’s REALLY death, does anybody has seen any certificate of its death?
Correclty a reporter of a newscast on CNN has pointed out that at the moment of the execution there weren’t any priest or whichever religious figure in the room, absolutely NOBODY.
Nobody that has ask for the last desire, the total and absolute nothing.
Why is this happened?
Reporters have said and justified the fact that Saddam has been killed almost 2 days after the sentence of death, and that he has been hanged as soon as possible in order not to murder him during the Muslim’s festivities
Which hurry was there to kill a man of caliber of SADDAM HUSSEIN?
He did not suffer from schizophrenia, was in perfect health conditions, why they had to kill him so early?
Saddam has a deep acquaintance of the Iraqi land, (that it could return useful to the United States in many ways) he represents one of the symbols of the middle-east, with the crisis that is growing between the Muslim World and the Occidental-World, the conflict of cultures, why nobody has taken time in order to consider and undestand the repercussions of an execution such important as this is?
We are so strong and confident to run the risk (like is happening) that Saddam Death has transformed him from executioner and a bad guy, to a Martire for the Muslim-World, murdered by the oppression of the “American-Exported-Democracy”?
It seems nowadays that Democracy it’s like a Plug-and-play device for a computer, there are not USB Cables, No Drivers, Nothing!!!
Who has the interest to kill a person of this calibre?
What would have changed if they decide to keep him alive for 1 month or 3 years more? He could not hurt nobody from his prison.
So what’s happening?
At this point we have to point out the actual world situation:
- Saddam was on bad terms with Iran and wished to invade it.
- the Iran has a serious intention to lead an energetic policy, based on the creation of Nuclear Power Plants. The equipment necessary to develop Nuclear Plants and enrich the Radioactive materials it’s the same of the equipments needed to create nuclear bombs.
- the United States and in general the Western Countries, have asked the Iran to interrupt the nuclear energetic policy.
- the Iran has cordially rejected the invites of the Western Countries and the UN, considering the document produced from the countries members “just a piece of paper”.
-China, and Korea have also intention of developing nuclear missles
- Japan (Allied with US) made pressure on the United States, SUCCEEDING, in order to let them restructure themselves army.
To this point in order to maintain the control of the oil to world-wide level the United States need to plug-in the “democracy” in Iraq in the shortest time as possible and invade the Iran.
Do you know someone who has the knowledge, the instruments and the acquaintances of Iraqi Land and People, in order to put into effect a plan this?
I’m sure you have understood what I’m speaking about.
To this point we place a question: Why they want makes to believe us to have murdered Saddam?
If Saddam were still alive the United States through him, they could contact the rebels faithful to Saddam (controlling them, making them own ally to you or to cancel them completely once for all).
To this point it would be the much easiest one for the United States to win the war in Iraq and establish the bases for a new attack to the Iran.
However if they had not made people to believe that they have hanged Saddam, Iraq would continue to be unstable internally.
Saddam in its history has been protagonist of various changes of allies, there’s not to be astonished that lately (with the American Gun still pointed to his temple) has decided to form an alliance with its historical enemy.
This would explain the unexpected execution, Bush has communicated 20 December during an interview to the Washington Post to have intention to send to Iraq a brand new contingent between 15.000 and 30.000 American soldiers.
A normal person would think, with 3000 victims of a war without enemy, how is it possible to even think to send others 20,000 young Americans guys in a conflict that theoretically seems not to show any sign of evolution (excluded the vicissitude of Saddam)?
The official excuse has been that “2007 will be a year of difficult choices and regarding sacrifices the Iraq. I have given our commanders all the flexibility they need to adjust tactics to be able to help the Iraqi government defeat those who want to thwart the ambitions of the people. And that includes a very robust security plan for Baghdad.” still explain Bush. Then continues with this: “A failed Iraq would make America less secure. A failed Iraq in the heart of the Middle East will provide safe haven for terrorists and extremists.”
Assembling several pieces of the puzzle, it emerges that last year the Javad Vaedi has declared that, for Iran, “the decision to resume the research on the nuclear materials enrichment, beginning from 10 January, is irreversible”. And on November 15, 2006 the Iranian President announced that “Today the Iranian nation possesses the full nuclear fuel cycle.”
Here there’s the explaination of the reason why they had to make disappear Saddam from the international scene in such short time.
On the 26 December comes out the death penalty sentence from the Iraqi Court of Appeal for Saddam Hussein. Under present Iraqi law, execution must be carried out within 30 days of confirmation of the order.
If it is true that Iran possesses the full nuclear fuel cycle, the United States have not time to waste. That’s why they have decided to kill Saddam after only 3 days from the sentence.
Iranians at this time could have developed the nuclear bomb in their laboratories.
In this way they have earned 27 abundant days in order to study the strategy to undertake against the Iran.
To confirm the thesis of the encirclement of the United States (with the favour of the Israeli government) in order to prevent Iran from the developing of the bomb nuclear, there are the journalistic testimonies of Mahmud Ahmadinejad.
On December 12, 2006, Ahmadinejad addressed the International Conference to Review the Global Vision of the Holocaust, and made comments about the future of Israel. He said, “Israel is about to crash. This is God’s promise and the wish of all the world’s nations.” He continued, “Everyone must know that just as the U.S.S.R. disappeared, this will also be the fate of the Zionist regime, and humanity will be free.”
Ahmadinejad has moved to strengthen relations with Russia, setting up an office expressly dedicated to the purpose in October 2005. He has worked with Vladimir Putin on the nuclear issue, and both Putin and Ahmadinejad have expressed a desire for more mutual cooperation on issues involving the Caspian Sea However, Western intelligence officials recently accused Ahmadinejad of sanctioning the training and funding of Chechen rebels, who are fighting against Russia, inside Iran.
If you were the presidents of the United States and had between your main investor the Hebrew and if you found yourselves to having to face the global oil situation, you would try you to attack the Iran?
In the end defeating the Iran Government could mean for the USA nearly become monopolist of the greater oil reserves of the world. Not only, Iran is supported by and supports all the communist and post-communist republics of the world. It’s not a strange case if these represent also the only remained hostile forces to the United States.
China, India entertains with the Iran intense exchanges trades that they have for protagonist the Iranian Oil. Russia instead supplies the radioactive materials and know-how needed for treatment of these materials and off course the construction of nuclear plants.
If USA can stop Iran it will hold in their own hands the energetic partnership that’s so important for China (that it is preparing an army and recently has entered to make part of the club of the nuclear powers).
Not only the Iran recently has left the Dollar and has choose the Euro as exchange currency.
USA government is getting very worried for the international panorama that’s developing beginning from the loosing of prestige of their currency in al the most important markets.
What we have to expect from 2007?
We will discover it very soon.
Sorry for my bad English, but I’m Italian, and I’ve never talked about politics for such a long time in my entire life!
