US disappointed in China, Russia response on Iran sanctions

Fri Nov 2, 3:48 PM ET

WASHINGTON (AFP) - The United States on Friday urged China and Russia to make a stronger effort toward agreeing a new set of sanctions on Iran, after what Washington said was a disappointing response by the two countries in major power talks in London.

Undersecretary of State Nicholas Burns "was disappointed in China and in Russia," State Department spokesman Tom Casey said.

Burns attended the London talks Friday among the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council -- Britain, France, the United States, Russia and China -- plus Germany to discuss strengthened sanctions against Iran under a third UN resolution.

"We think that at this point we really need to be making more progress toward that resolution and that we need to make that diplomacy much more rigorous," Casey said.

"And we're hoping to see more effort taken on the part of particularly the Chinese, and the Russians as well," he told reporters in Washington.

5. Oiling China's wheels

China's growing economic might is fuelling massive demand for foreign oil, but record crude prices are proving a major burden for both the government and consumers.

In the latest in an Al Jazeera series on China, Melissa Chan reports from Beijing on the challenges soaring prices and rising demands pose.

China's transport network is crucial in keeping the country's economy rolling along.

Trucks take products from the factories to the ports, from where they sail to the rest of the world.

But there is a problem that is slowing down this process so imperative in keeping China's economy going - the higher cost of fuel.

China can't afford to have oil prices climb any higher as it is. So they will stand with the mullah oil supplier.
