Controlling tobacco is a long-term, difficult and complicated public health task, it is also a social and economic issue that needs a strong policy. |
Currently only the Unites States is against the new resolution, which is actually the best possible compromise among UN members and reflects a fragile balance of all members' concerns. |
Disarmament should be conducive to the enhancement of every country's general security instead of becoming the instrument and means for a few countries to strengthen their military superiority by weakening or restricting other countries. |
If Americans expect China to take into account their concerns, it would be only logical and natural that we would expect our American friends to address out concerns, security concerns, among which the (U.S.) arms sales to Taiwan is most important. |
No country can achieve its own security by relying on itself alone, no matter how advanced its arsenal is and how strong it is. |
So it is in that connection I can tell you China will not sit on one hand. |
The Chinese government will follow the relevant stipulations of the convention to improve its related laws and regulations, strictly control smoking in public spaces and strengthen regulation of tobacco production and business activities. |
The resolution is not perfect, but it is a compromise that can be accepted by all UN members, so Chin a hopes it can be adopted. |
This situation is very undemocratic, unfair and unreasonable, |
We are ready to have dialogue . . . we are ready to talk to them, |
We do have a lot of common interests with the U.S.. We want to be their friend. We want to have good relations with them. |
We firmly believe that with the deployment of the American National Missile Defense Program, it will certainly affect the security of China. |
We hate the idea. We condemn the idea. The transfer of TMD would certainly touch off a strong reaction from China. That is not good for peace and stability in that part of the world, |

We have established a legal framework for tobacco control and public health development, by publishing Law on Tobacco Monopoly, Advertisement Law, Law on the Protection of Minors, Law on the Prevention of Juvenile Delinquency as well as State Council's Regulation on Public Places Hygiene Management. |
