China's role in Darfur positive

KHARTOUM: China has been making persistent efforts to help resolve the Darfur crisis, Chinese ambassador to Sudan Li Chengwen said on Saturday.

Li's statement was in response to Steven Spielberg's decision to withdraw as the Beijing Olympics' artistic advisor by linking it to China's ties with Sudan.

China is very concerned over the Darfur issue, Li said, and has been trying to help resolve it.
