China holds that Iran should not be able to acquire nuclear weapons, but the Chinese administration argues that it is not clear that Iran is actively pursuing nuclear weapons and sees US/EU skepticism of Iran as simply a modern manifestation of Anti-Asian Imperialism. China also wishes to use Iranian petroleum to fuel its rise and cover Chinese energy shortfalls. This makes the Chinese less willing to cooperate with international sanctions on Iran designed to curb the nuclear ambitions.

What 3 countries has moved away from developing nuclear weapons capabilities?
South Africa, Canada and Libya. South Africa developed six nuclear weapons under the apartheid government, but they voluntarily disarmed right before the fall of apartheid because 1) there would be no need for a country that wasn't white supremacist anymore to have nuclear weapons in Africa, and 2) they worried that the ANC might proliferate nuclear technology if they got their hands on it as they had a history of relations with leaders like Gaddaffi. Canada, long a major center of nuclear technology R&D, inventing the CANDU reactor and other pieces of nuclear technology, could have very easily developed nuclear weapons but chose an anti-nuclear stance and stated it wouldn't develop the bomb or allow other NATO states to station nuclear weapons on it's territory. Libya was very close to completing a nuclear bomb but Gaddaffi voluntarily gave up his nuclear program and let the US in to remove his weapons after Bush made an example of Iraq. He feared they'd invade and institute regime change in Libya to if he gave them the excuse of WMD program.
President Obama seeking a world without nuclear weapons?
U.S. President Barack Obama’s administration will release its Nuclear Posture Review on Tuesday amidst the President’s dealings with Russia about reducing nuclear arms among the nations of the world. Obama has admitted that it is his goal, and a very long term one at that, to have a world that is free of nuclear weapons. The President has made it clear that the goal of a nuclear free world is one of his top priorities and while it is a goal he concedes will not likely be reached in his lifetime; he is nevertheless committed to starting the process now. Obama has stated that there are a series of specific steps that we could start taking to move in a direction that lessens the threat of nuclear weapons in the meantime. The release of the Nuclear Posture Review from the Obama administration is the first step in the President’s process that is centered on nuclear security for not just the United States, but the world. In the review the U.S. has pledged not to use nuclear weapons against countries that are strictly following the global non-proliferation treaty. While that stance has drawn criticism from some who feel that pledge lessens the country’s ability to defend itself, Obama believes it will encourage the nations of the world to abide by the non-proliferation treaty while also discouraging outcast nations like Iran and North Korea from pursuing their nuclear ambitions. Another step taken by the Obama administration is a new arms reduction deal with Cold War adversary Russia that was agreed to last week. The President will be in Prague later this week for a visit at which point he will sign the new arms reduction treaty with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. Obama believes the biggest threat to global security however is nuclear terrorism and the President will be hosting a global summit on the matter in Washington next week. He feels that an important step in ridding the world of nuclear weapons is getting nations to lock down their loose nuclear materials. Even more ambitious than his overall goal, the President would like to see significantly better nuclear security from the nations of the world in the next four years.
