China and Russia diluted the sanctions draft on Iran:
Russia and China were in the position to make demands - and they did, as the New York Times reported: Among the many compromises that the United States accepted to get China and Russia to back new sanctions against Iran was an agreement to limit any reference to the bank - or Iran's entire energy sector, for that matter - to the introductory paragraphs rather than the sanctions themselves, according to American officials and other diplomats, yielding a weaker resolution than the United States would have liked.
Basically the article argues that China (and Russia) agreed to sanctions but diluted them a lot, so China's commercial interests wit Iran will not really be impeded.
