China 'stands against use of force to solve int'l disputes'

Military action not the answer, top UN representative says

UNITED NATIONS - China abstained from the UN vote to enforce a no-fly zone over Libya as it "always opposes the use of force in international relations", the country's top representative to the world body said.

In an exclusive interview with China Daily, Li Baodong, China's permanent representative to the UN, said "military action only complicates the situation rather than resolves it".
