China isn't going to decrease its power by proliferating nukes. And Iran might think that it has enough in its arsenal to deter future attacks, without bringing on itself the ire and isolation that nukes bring. That said, Kim Jung Un is the most vindicated man on the planet for NOT giving up his nukes in exchange for all the 'economic goodies'.
They would be completely retarded not to. I would bet on an oil for nukes deal with China sometime in the future.
Especially considering they agreed to not pursue nukes over 10 years ago, demonstrably held up their end of the deal, and were attacked anyway.
But they were 2 weeks away from nuke capabilities!

With the state of China's economy, they might not have a choice.
