Beijing: China on April 15 voiced its opposition to US threatening Syria for
allegedly harbouring leading members of the deposed Iraqi regime and possessing
chemical
weapons.
"Syria has already denied the relevant accusation by the United States," Chinese
Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu JiaNchao told reporters.
"China has always maintained that international conflicts should be solved
politically. We are against the use of force or the threat of use of force," Liu
said.
Queried on China's stance on the Iraq issue, he said, "China's position has been
clearly stated at the beginning of the war and it remains unchanged".
He stressed that China believes that the final settlement of the Iraqi question
should be under the framework of the United Nations Security Council.
