China demanded from the IAEA to stop examining the Iranian nuclear program, and from Director General Rafael Grossi to stop submitting reports on Iran. This statement was made by Deputy Permanent Representative of the People's Republic of China to the United Nations Shimei Lei on October 23. Beijing believes that Security Council Resolution No. 2231 has lost force, which means that international consideration of the Iranian issue must end. At the same time, China insists that Iran is committed not to create nuclear weapons, but it has the right to peaceful atoms. On the same day, Grossi actually responded to Beijing with the opposite proposal: the IAEA is ready to renew the full inspection of the Iranian program, most of the technical preparations have already been completed. The agency relies on negotiations between Washington and Tehran mediated by Pakistan, Qatar, Oman and Egypt. Grossi believes that without independent oversight, no long-term nuclear deal will work. China is demanding a halt to the review and related reports, even though Iran's obligations under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty remain in place. At the same time, Beijing offers a completely different logic for Australia. Sun Ley has accused the US, UK and Australia of creating the threat of nuclear proliferation through the AUKUS project - the transfer of nuclear submarine technology to Australia. China demands an international monitoring mechanism and further negotiations. The UN General Assembly on 23 October still supported the IAEA: 150 countries voted in favor of resolution A/81/L.7, two voted against and one abstained. Russia and North Korea objected, Cuba abstained. The vote was on overall support for the agency, not on a specific Chinese proposal. But that did not revoke Grossi's authority to continue working on Iranian guarantees.
