In recently,there are many current news about Iran,many newspapers and websites reported about the U.S. could assault Iran?If so,there are many many people will die,especially,I think that children will be victim about the war.I don't see about what will do.I believe that the peace is much better.
I also worry about Chinese mainland and Taiwan,the war should not burst out between Chinese mainland and Taiwan,all of the people are chinese,why we do it.

You said true. but, Let's change your sentence like the followings.


Quote:
(2) China wants to control mineral oil in all of Middle East.

(3) Japan wants to control mineral oil in all of Middle East.

(4) Taiwan wants to control mineral oil in all of Middle East.


The all sentences above are all true.
Even the following sentences are also true.

Quote:
(5) Luckyyoung wants to control mineral oil in all of Middle East.

(6) joon_star wants to control mineral oil in all of Middle East.


As I suggest, who want it is not, but who has the capability to do it is what we should think.

What I want to say is who want it is not important, but who can do it is really important.

Does Chinese president like whom?
Iranian President or Taiwanese President?


Actually I don't understand your question, Could you say it more clearly?

My English is also poor.
I think We are here to learn English and to understand mutually.

Sorry, I don't still understand what's your question because there, I think, are no relations between Chinese president can like Iranian president and the war has broken out between Chinese mainland and TaiWan.
I don't see any relation between them.

Furthermore, as I said before, who like whom is not important in politics.
who can do what is more important.

There are no real friends and no real enemies in diplomatics.

haha, I know what's the meaning, it's really confusing.

Actually, the mineral oil here should be gas or petroleum.

Luckyyoung is saying, if Chinese leaders act as the iranian one, maybe the war already starts to stop TW from getting far away. and PLA is the abbreviation of people's liberation army, chinese mainland troop.

Ah, I see a little. Thanks to Napoleon.

Do you mean that if the Chinese Leader is not afraid of war like the Iranian President, the war might already broke out between China and TW?

I think This is not a matter of courage. This is a matter of capability.

America has the capability of attact Iran.
So the main point is whether Iran has the capability of defending herself from America or she hasn't.

About China, I don't like to say about China's capabitly to attack TW because It will break harsh disputes.

I just have one thing I like to tell you that "China should wait and wait with endurance for the next 30 years."

Okay, has Iran nuclear weapons or hasn't? That is the main point.


I have a quiz to you. The following quiz has some relations with why America threats Iran.

Quote:
One of Korea's main exporting product is a mobile phone.
Samsung Electronic is the major mobile phone maker.

One of Japan's main exporting product is a car.
Toyota is the major car maker.

What exporting product is the biggest amount of USA?


If you answer correctly, I think you will be one of great leaders of your country(China).
