Adhering to peaceful development and as a staunch force safeguarding and promoting world peace and stability, China will not pose a threat to any country in its development. We urge the US to abandon Cold War mentality and prejudices, correct mistakes in the report and stop making remarks that mislead the US public and undermine mutual trust between China and the US.

Relevant cases will be dealt with according to law.

As to the police raid against the Aksu terror gang, competent authorities have already released information. As to what and how to release, the authorities will comply with relevant laws.

China endeavors to deepen cooperation with East Asian countries including Japan so as to stride forward towards the goal of East Asia Community.

Q: What's on China's agenda at the upcoming G20 Financial Summit?

A: A briefing was held this Tuesday on President Hu Jintao's attendance at the United Nations meetings and the 3rd G20 Financial Summit in Pittsburgh. We believe the Pittsburgh Summit should yield positive results in the following areas. First, continue coordination of macro policies and boost world economic recovery. Second, follow the timetable set at the London Summit, advance structural reform of international financial institutions, expand the say and representation of emerging markets and developing countries. Third, promote common development and put emphasis on the development of developing countries, in particular, the least developed countries. Fourth, all parties should speak in one strong voice against trade protectionism and push for comprehensive and balanced results out of the Doha Round of talks. China will exchange in-depth views with other parties on achieving economic balance and sustainable development, keeping financial crisis at bay and other issues of common interest.

As a friend of Afghanistan, we sincerely wish the country an early realization of national stability and economic development and its people a happy and peaceful life.

As for your second question, in order to further deepen China’s friendly relations and cooperation with South Africa, Lesotho, Guinea-Bissau, Cape Verde and Mauritania, Assistant Foreign Minister Zhai Jun paid a working visit to the five countries from 17 to 23 September.

Q: In light of the recent US tariff on Chinese tyre imports and the US National Intelligence Strategy report, how do you comment on the current China-US relations? Do you think China-US mutual trust has been undermined and will the economic frictions spill over to other areas?
