China invests $40b. in Iran oil and gas

Actually there is prediction China could take over as no, economy by......2025. Good news. But still a long way to go. Something could wrong along the way. Very unpredictable world. Take note of this, currently China's PER CAPITA INCOME compare to US and JAPAN is just a fraction of an inch. EU and US are the largest consumer of China's products, with out them China could collapse over night. Why and how? Billion plus people to provide with jobs and necessities of life. Billion and growing! Make them happy or unrest. Those billion makes China's per capita so LOW!

We Chinese are very rich. Without us the US and Europe limping.We can buy America. In short future we will the most powerful nation. We will take back Siberia from Russian and South Tibet (Arunachal Pradesh) from India. We will master the world.

According to your report: Just 3 months for Israelis to get ready with their gas masks? Once US and Israel bombed Iran there no chance for counter attact against Israel. The first strike is so relentless and very devastating. US intercontinental ballistic missiles will make sure Iran is done in just half an hour, no need for ground force. You have to know what kind of weapons are in US arsenals.... that only the Russian can match.The fact is still there...US is superpower militarily. Russia is in the same category, NOT Iran! You get the point?

basher. Yet you live here, not China. You should try going there and start calling them cowards! You won't be disappointed by their reaction.

If USA did not allow China to sell the producks they make,China would starve no doubt.While they polute thier own lands.We created a war machine not toys.But do you like Disneyland?

And I am no China-basher. But this is inexcusable. Unforgivable.

Oil to China down by 30 percent????Where are China getting the balance they were purchasing previously or are they ,is their economy as truly buoyant as thy say it is,how can they achieve double digit growth under those conditions,I know there are projects under construction between Russia and China ;but,not completed.There were stats in China declaring some impressive growth stats over the year before yet rail freight and electricity consumption were lower??????????some one enlighten me,have they increased oil exports from South America to compensate their needs????

The U.S. is not completely dying. Being able to deploy hundreds of thousands of troops globally is not a sign of a dying nation. And guess who is next in line for some U.S.A. weakness? The Chinese would be screwed if they didn't sell to America. U.S.A. goes down so does China. Not going to happen. A pipe dream. The two nations need each other. Iran survives on its own? First nation in the history of mankind to do so. At least you don't need Photoshop for that statement. Iran is no match for the U.S.A. militarily economically or anything else. Look at the World and it tells you who has the power and News Flash! it ain't Iran.

1stly the USA is completely dying, record unemployment, a million Americans going onto Food rationing/tokens each month, in a recession and things would be a billion times worse were it not for the Chinese bailing the US out to the tune of a $1 trillion/year. The USA is finished, it's military begging to be able to be let out of Afghanistan and Iraq. Look at Iran, we survive on our own, with world sanctions. Yet our economy was one of the few that grew last year. Our economic growth is ave 5% year. We are the largest car maker in middle-east. & we've face Israel/USA for 3 decades. LOL!

If Iran is exporting so much oil, why is the country so poor? Why are so many Iranian's suffering? Why isn't more money put into its economy? Could it be that Iran is spending all of the money it makes on funding Hamas, Hezbollah, Al-Qaida, and anybody who wants to attack Israel or the West? Could it be that Ahmadinejad is so incensed against Israel and the West that he will let his country suffer, just so that he can fund terrorists to blow up women and children?
