China Opposes New Resolution on Iraq BEIJING - Chinese leader Jiang Zemin told the French president Thursday that an additional U.N. resolution on Iraq (news - web sites) is not necessary, an official Chinese news agency reported. "The Chinese side still supports using political means to resolve the Iraq issue. The door of peace should not be closed," the Xinhua News Agency quoted Jiang as telling President Jacques Chirac. The brief report did not say which leader initiated the call. Xinhua quoted Jiang as telling Chirac that China agreed with a statement made Wednesday by France, Russia and Germany. The three countries said they want inspectors to be given more time to peacefully eliminate Iraq's weapons of mass destruction. They also warned they would block any U.N. authorization for military action. The European statement did not use the word veto, but implied as much on the part of Russia and France, which both hold that power in the U.N. Security Council along with Washington and Britain. Jiang's reported comments reiterated China's position stated earlier Thursday by Chinese Foreign Minister Tang Jiaxuan.
