WASHINGTON (AFP) — The United States said it would not "sugarcoat" its differences with China on weapons proliferation, less than a week before Chinese premier Wen Jiabao is due in Washington.
The State Department did say it welcomed China's efforts in the area after Beijing earlier called for the establishment of an effective international mechanism to prevent the spread of weapons of mass destruction.
"In a nutshell, we think that China has enacted good legislation on this issue and the focus is on implementation and enforcement," State Department deputy spokesman Adam Ereli said on Wednesday.
But he said there remain "ongoing" concerns on the issue.
