What 3 countries has moved away from developing nuclear weapons capabilities?
South Africa, Canada and Libya. South Africa developed six nuclear weapons under the apartheid government, but they voluntarily disarmed right before the fall of apartheid because 1) there would be no need for a country that wasn't white supremacist anymore to have nuclear weapons in Africa, and 2) they worried that the ANC might proliferate nuclear technology if they got their hands on it as they had a history of relations with leaders like Gaddaffi. Canada, long a major center of nuclear technology R&D, inventing the CANDU reactor and other pieces of nuclear technology, could have very easily developed nuclear weapons but chose an anti-nuclear stance and stated it wouldn't develop the bomb or allow other NATO states to station nuclear weapons on it's territory. Libya was very close to completing a nuclear bomb but Gaddaffi voluntarily gave up his nuclear program and let the US in to remove his weapons after Bush made an example of Iraq. He feared they'd invade and institute regime change in Libya to if he gave them the excuse of WMD program.
What is China's stance on the proliferation of nuclear weapons in Iran?
China holds that Iran should not be able to acquire nuclear weapons, but the Chinese administration argues that it is not clear that Iran is actively pursuing nuclear weapons and sees US/EU skepticism of Iran as simply a modern manifestation of Anti-Asian Imperialism. China also wishes to use Iranian petroleum to fuel its rise and cover Chinese energy shortfalls. This makes the Chinese less willing to cooperate with international sanctions on Iran designed to curb the nuclear ambitions.

In 1982 Mexico ratified the Sea-Bed Treaty stating that their government has the right to inspect, remove, or destroy military weapons or structures or other nuclear weapons/ weapons of mass destruction. I don't know if this helps at all, but good luck. Also, Mexico is trying to get closer to nuclear weapons being abolished from all of the world.

They may be for the issue in Iran or against, the world may never know.
