China Rejects Israel's Call for Tougher Sanctions Against Iran
[Xinhua-China] After visiting Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni called on China to back new sanctions against Iran, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao said Tuesday that sanctions should not be used to resolve the Iran nuclear issue. "China has always believed that the unbridled use of sanctions should not be encouraged in dealing with international relations. We hold that a peaceful solution to the Iran nuclear issue through diplomatic negotiation is an optimal choice that serves the common interests of the international community," Liu said.
