China fordert den sofortigen Stop des Irakkrieges!
Chinesische Analysten haben nur mit milder Kritik gerechnet, gehen aber davon aus, dass keine negativen Auswirkungen auf die chinesisch-amerikanischen Beziehungen gewollt sind.
http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=worldNews&storyID=2413642:
Wird das eurer Meinung nach noch weiter eskalieren? Oder haltet ihr es für realistisch, dass die Chinesen diese Kritik wieder relativieren? Wäre das nicht ein Gesichtsverlust für China?
Ein weiterer kleiner Schritt Richtung 3. WK ?

China Calls for Immediate Halt to War on Iraq

BEIJING (Reuters) - China, in a surprisingly strong reaction to the start of the U.S.-led war against Iraq, called on Thursday for an immediate halt to military action and a return to efforts to resolve the crisis peacefully.
Chinese analysts had expected the government to issue a mild rebuke that would not risk a setback to improving relations with Washington. Instead, Beijing chose to focus on the primacy of the U.N. Security Council in world affairs.
"We strongly urge relevant countries to immediately stop military action," Foreign Ministry spokesman Kong Quan told a news conference without mentioning the United States by name.
"They ignored the opposition of most countries and peoples of the world and went around the U.N. Security Council to begin military action against Iraq," he said.
"This constitutes a violation of the U.N. charter and the basic norms of international law," he said.
"We hope to see an immediate halt to military action and a return to the path of a political settlement," Kong said.
Kong did not respond directly to questions on the effect the war would have on Sino-U.S. relations.
Asked if Vice President Dick Cheney, scheduled to visit China in April, was still welcome, Kong said merely that President Hu Jintao had issued that invitation when he visited the United States last year as vice president.
He declined to comment further.
SURPRISE
The strength of the government statement surprised Chinese analysts.
Jin Canrong, a professor of international relations at People's University in Beijing, said he had expected an expression of regret and hope for a resumption of diplomacy and for China, which like France and Russia pushed for a diplomatic solution in the United Nations, to "keep a low profile."
"It's a bit stronger than I had anticipated," he said later. But he said if the government had been prepared to risk its relations with Washington, it would not have turned down student applications for anti-war protests.
"It's unlikely to have an impact on China-U.S. relations," Jin said. (...)
