My Comment: The report is here. What's my take .... China is not our friend or ally .... they are our global economic competitor, and in the Asian theater they are our political/military adversary. As for Iran .... need I need to say more? Both countries are dependent on each other for trade, oil, and technology .... international sanctions mean nothing to them. As for the report itself .... bottom line .... the report is just stating the obvious.

Well, what does the US expect? To China, from their point of view, Taiwan is their Iran, albeit, not as dangerous as Iran, but nonetheless a sensitive topic.
US supplying Taiwan with arms didn't help matters, and for China, this is something they will hold the US responsible for.
