Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman Sun Yuxi answered questions
Tuesday evening regarding China's position on the nonproliferation
legislation targeted against China tabled by a few US congressmen.
"A
few US congressmen have been attempting to push for the passage of
nonproliferation legislation targeted against China this year, to
which the Chinese government has expressed its strong opposition,"
said Sun.
"The US government has repeatedly reiterated its position on this
issue to the Chinese side that it has taken effective measures to
oppose nonproliferation legislation targeted against China, because
the US does not believe that additional sanctions legislation is
the most effective means to pursue US nonproliferation objectives
with China," he said.
"The US side also made it clear that it will recommend the same
approach to the incoming US administration," the spokesman
said.
