China sending lower level representative to six-power meet on Iran: US

China will send a lower level representative to a meeting Saturday of six world powers in Iran's nuclear program, a State Department spokesman said Thursday. "We are aware that the representation will be below the level of political director," State Department spokesman Philip Crowley said. "It will be a useful meeting to have regardless of the Chinese representation."
The United States and other western powers fear that Iran, despite Tehran's denials, is using a uranium enrichment program to develop fissile material for nuclear weapons.
