China says no plan to send troops to Afghanistan
Mon Nov 17, 2008

BEIJING (Reuters) - China is not planning on sending troops to Afghanistan to join the International Security Assistance Force there, state media said on Tuesday.

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said last week in New York that it was possible China would send troops to Afghanistan.

"The Chinese government consistently supports efforts of Afghanistan's government and people to maintain stability, promote economic development and realize peaceful reconstruction," state media quoted Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang as saying.

"Except United Nations' peace-keeping operations approved by the UN Security Council, China never sends troops abroad. The media reports about China sending troops to participate in the ISAF in Afghanistan are groundless," he added.

China is not sleeping now ,they are very much aware of US unilateral policies.

I think China will wait uptill defeat of US and NATO and then take any action for regional development.

I think China will be major player in east and central asia in near future.

^^^^ A good sumup

China is not stupid, comitting troops will only increase their profile in the region as supporting anti islam countires, as if they dont have enough troubles from the Ethenic Ujur People already! Do you think they want AQ and all these other idiots calling on their door as well?

China is just waiting for US to start a war with Pakistan and it will be a threat to China's national security.

I Guess China's main aim is to make the economy strong therefore they don't wanna indulge in any sort of war that could prove detrimental to their aims and objectives....
