Chinese President Tells Israeli President He "Fully Understands" Security Concerns Regarding Iran
(Times of Israel) Marissa Newman - China is well aware of Israel's concerns with the Iranian nuclear program, and will continue to support the nuclear negotiations to prevent Iran from acquiring weapons, Chinese President Xi Jinping told Israeli President Shimon Peres Tuesday in Beijing. China, a major Iranian oil customer, has been a staunch backer of Tehran and has resisted efforts to impose heavier sanctions on the regime. The Chinese are seeking a greater diplomatic role in the region, especially concerning Israeli-Palestinian peace talks.
