Clinton: China risks isolation over Iran

None

US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is warning China that it risks diplomatic isolation and potential disruption to its energy supplies unless it supports new UN sanctions against Iran.

 

Speaking in Paris, Clinton told an audience at a military academy that she understood China's reluctance to support imposing new penalties on Iran over its nuclear program. But she stressed that a nuclear-armed Iran would destabilize the Persian Gulf and imperil vital oil shipments China gets from the region. (AP)
