China will oppose US efforts to "tip over" the Tehran government:
China has also attempted to improve relations with its already-established oil suppliers, such as Saudi Arabia and Iran, by selling them military technology, investing in their industries and energy infrastructure and looking the other way with respect to their human rights records. Currently, China derives 13.6 percent of its oil imports from Iran. In March 2004, China signed a $100 million deal with Iran to import 10 million tons of liquefied natural gas over a 25-year period in exchange for Chinese investment in Iran's oil and gas exploration, petrochemical and pipeline infrastructure. Growing Sino-Iranian relations are undermining U.S. sanctions against Iran. The Bush administration has sanctioned Chinese companies 62 times for violating U.S. or international controls on the transfer of weapons technology to Iran and other states. The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency has submitted a report to the U.S. Congress stating that Chinese companies have "helped Iran move toward its goal of becoming self-sufficient in the production of ballistic missiles." In the ongoing controversy over Iran's uranium enrichment program, China has also opposed bringing the issue before the U.N. Security Council and has even threatened to veto any resolution that is brought against Iran.
How far will China go to prevent US led regime change?
How far will we go to prevent Iranian nuclear weapons?
Potential world wars arise from such questions.

Lets see it really is in Chinas interests to keep the Oil flowing that is powering its economy. And with Russia not putting a pipeline into China it means they need to keep the oil flowing from somewhere. China is showing a lot of interest in countries like Libya and Venezuela who still have capacity to increase there Oil production and are not really what could be termed as USA friendly.
Still it really is not cold war material just one of the countries that rely on a reasonable stability so that they can continue to grow. so we have to live with it and especially with China having a border with Afghanistan and Afghanistan with Iran.
