Yes, this is correct: <<Lu Jianren, a professor at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, notes that if the US prevails in Iraq it may wield influence for some time over the price and delivery of Iraqi oil.>. The Chinese are part of the world economy in a big way, and the Government is run by pragmatists -- including pragmatists that chose to kill hundreds of students who wanted to accelerate "democracy" and pragmatists that crushed opposition in Tibet. China is likely to turn a blind eye on Iraq - and they will expect the same from us when they extort Taiwan.
