Wikileak documents reveals US official asked China to prevent its firms from sending dual-use commodities to Iran for use in its nuclear program

Washington is trying to encourage China to make its companies aware of potential Iranian nuclear as a result of commodities the Chinese companies have provided Iranian firms involved in Teheran's nuclear program, according to a WikiLeaks document released last week.

The document said that the US is trying to advance a strategy to prevent shipments of commodities "of concern to Iran," and that officials are providing information about dealings between certain Chinese and Iranian firms "in an effort to encourage China to ensure such activities are not continued and to encourage China to adopt a similar proactive strategy of working with their companies to make them aware of potential Iranian procurement in support of its nuclear program."

Obama - "Pretty Please stop selling nuke materials to Iran"

Hu - "That's right yankee devil. Bend over like a good boy and worship your new emperor. By the way, remember to thank Hillary & Bill for all the stealth and nuke technology they sent our way. It's obviously been very useful to us. We've knicknamed our new stealth fighter, the "Slick Willie" in his honor."
