"The scary part is China siding with Tehran" This is a strong contender for the stupidest thing I have ever heard. While China may side with Tehran in a skirmish at the UN if it comes to a shoot out and they have to choose between the United States and Iran they are going to be singing Yankee Doodle for sure.
Think of it this way, what are the Chinese going to do with the oil after their economy collapses? For without access to US markets the Chinese would have to revert to making pig iron in their backyard furnaces for forging statues of Chairman Mao.

The scary part is China siding with Tehran. Either they will, in which case the issue will be resolved quickly, or they won't, in which case Iran will cease threatening everybody and will become interested in ordinary business, trade, commerce.

"The scary part is China siding with Tehran."
Yes. China is most likely considering an invasion against Taiwan, if the Iran situation festers long enough before a war involving Iran. China and other countries are obviously interested in cooperating with each other long enough to get more ocean ports.
