Gemba urges China, India to cut Iran oil imports

Master (US) has already warned China-India of sanctions, wonder if Gemba is saying the same indirectly.

Gemba urges China, India to cut Iran oil imports

Of course he'd say that, now that Japan already has permission to continue. But no-no, it's not double standards, it's just Japan's unique situation, right?

The more frustration from the US state department over China's imports of Iranian oil imports and her attitude over the Syrian civil war means the bigger 'embarassment' for america that her influenceless over China's defiance! China has get used to live under the sanctions from western world since 1949 and she is convincing the world all hardships were worth to endure but never gives a little compromise!

oh and who is going to feed the 2 billion gas guzzlers? easier said than done.

So you're saying that in half a generation they've forgotten how to ride bikes?

Good robot, Gemba!

Good boy!

Have a biscuit!

Japan needs US military protections and thats why Japan must know-towing to US political pressure regardless how ridiculous the demand was! But China is definately not an US ally, she has nothing obligated to comply with that so called 'sanction iran'!

China is adding 16 million cars a year. Actually, China is looking to get additional oil from Iran, Venezuela, Africa, and other locations for their domestic needs.

Without any back up plan as a replacement from Iran's oil, it doesn't work. Even if China and India join the talk. Considering the current situation of energy sources in Japan after the nuclear crisis, the oil , which is the alternative source, is definitely so critical source that we should be careful to see if Japan join the talk. No matter what strategy Western countries proceed, Japan should outline own strategy that is based on the current critical situation. Nevertheless, Japan always needs to seek for alternatives that would be geo heating, wind power and so on.

"Japan on Wednesday said China and India should reverse course and cut their Iranian oil imports as part of international efforts to press Tehran over its controversial nuclear program."

Should be read as :

....'American' efforts to press...this is definitely orchestrated by the U.S. -- except having keen interests on votes prior to respective election, who else wants to be dragged into the fight by directly increasing imported crude oil burden amid the economic crisis ?

Which is more harmful, doing business with a nuclear aspirant whom nobody can yet verify develops nuclear weapons, or doing business with a superpower who still revives its economy by alchemy of financial instruments and derivatives which it should have been admonished against when the subprime loan crisis occurred proliferating financial a-boms worldwide. A lot of our pension funds were lost in it too. Gemba should be aware that Brazil, Russia, India and China who steer clear of the big deal the U.S. may orchestrate will be pulling the world anyway through tangle economy and carve out the future.
