Garver on NPR

As the U.S. and European nations push for more sanctions aimed at Iran's nuclear programs, China insists that diplomatic channels have not been exhausted. NPR interviewed International Affairs China expert, Professor John Garver who said that the two countries on opposite ends of the ancient Silk Road are planning oil pipelines across Asia. "It would mean that a major oil supplier in the Middle East would probably be willing to work with China to deliver oil to China, probably through overland channels, in the event that some type of U.S. and Chinese confrontation led to the interruption of China's sea lanes of communications."
