CHINA yesterday rebuffed US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's accusation that it and Russia have hindered the resolution of the crisis in Syria, saying attempts to "slander" China were doomed to fail.
Clinton urged Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's enemies meeting in Paris on Friday to make Russia and China "pay a price" for helping him keep power in Damascus. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Weimin said Clinton's comments were "totally unacceptable." "On the Syria problem, China's fair and constructive stance and its contributions toward diplomatic efforts have attained the wide understanding and support of relevant parties in the international community," Liu said. "Words and deeds that slander China and sow discord between China and other countries will be in vain."
