China: Sanctions cannot solve Iran nuke issue (AP)

BEIJING ? China says United Nations sanctions against Iran cannot fundamentally resolve tensions over the country's nuclear program.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said Friday that China continues to hold dialogue and that cooperation rather than coercion is the most effective approach to Iran. China, which holds veto power in the U.N. Security Council over any sanctions against Tehran, wants to work with other nations to help bring about a resolution.

Hong also defended China's economic dealings with Iran against critics who say such interactions prop up the Iranian regime and allow it to continue its nuclear program.

Such business links are normal and transparent and don't harm any other countries or violate existing sanctions, he said.
