BEIJING (AP) -- China's foreign ministry said Monday the Occupy Wall Street movement highlights issues that are worth considering, but that debates generated by the protests should promote global economic growth....
"We feel that there are issues here that are worth pondering," said Liu Weimin, a foreign ministry spokesman during a regular briefing in Beijing.
"We have also noticed that in the media there has been a lot of commentary, discussion and reflection. But we think that all of these reflections should be conducive to maintaining the sound and steady development of the world economy," Liu said, without elaborating.

The thing is, that Iran is no real threat to anyone, Ahmadinejad isn't even really in charge it's the Ayatollah.

I think a lot of people don't understand that if we fail, China fails. They can't 'dump our debt'.
Actually China has positioned themselves well. Yes they would feel it if a collapse happened in America but they would switch gears to become a consumerist economy. This would battle the ill effects that they wouild feel on their export market. Maybe all those ghost towns they built were in anticipation of this very scenario. Becoming a consumerist economy would certainly rally the Chinese people in favor of their government.

This is most likely what it seems to be, a prelude to some type of escalation in the region. Just in case people want to doubt your source and bash Alex Jones, here is a more mainstream story from Israel.
